FXBG Advance: Briefly explain what experiences you would bring to this office should you be elected.
I’ve worked at every level of public education from higher education to K-12. As a superintendent, I built salary scales, managed very large budgets, opened new buildings, planned for new construction, and of course, most importantly focused on student learning. My greatest concern for Fredericksburg City Schools is the performance of our students and the support that we put in place to ensure that they can be successful. While my experience does not make me an expert, it does give me very credible skills in terms of understanding what’s happening instructionally, what’s happening fiscally and identifying and supporting the needs of our school community.
FXBG Advance: Briefly explain two issues that are most important to you as a candidate.
The two issues most important to me include ensuring that we are providing the necessary and appropriate support that teachers and students need for optimal success in the classroom. This support must include how we allocate, spend and leverage resources. Our school board must ensure that the funds are used efficiently, effectively, and transparently. Every single parent and every single student should have clear knowledge about performance expectations and goals. All community members and students must also understand what supports are in place to enhance their academic success in the classroom. These supports include teachers, instructional assistants, technology, instructional materials, and professional development.
FXBG Advance: Briefly explain why you would be a good fit for the office you are pursuing.
My broad and in-depth experience working in public schools for the last 30+ years has prepared me for this role. Throughout my entire adult life, I've made sure to be very engaged with my community. I've been a member of boards, community organizations and groups that are service focused. I believe I have the knowledge, the skills, and the insight to be an effective School Board Member for Ward 4.
