WHAT I BELIEVE
- There is no more important job for this generation than to train up the next.
- Every student deserves the best education possible.
- Teachers and staff should be well compensated for their work.
- We should all expect excellence in all areas of D-20. Mediocrity is not acceptable.
- Education decisions are best kept at the local level.
- The School Board is accountable to the parents, voters, and taxpayers of D-20.
- The CRT worldview has no place in District 20
- Money must be spent frugally and wisely.
- Parents should make all health decisions for their children including masking and vaccinations. These should not be mandated.
