What is the most important issue facing Leopold Public Schools? What can be done about it?

School Safety is a very important. We have made some big steps in that area and will continue to make our campus as safe as possible for our students and staff. Educating our students have been a top priority of Leopold for many years and will be on the top of the list year after year.

What in your background or education makes you qualified for this office?

I have served on the school board at Leopold for the past 3 years. I have always been available and listen to the concerns of the community. I am already familar with the workings of the school and ready to help make our school a better place than the day before.

Where do you stand on the issue of Common Core standards?

I don't really know alot about it. What I have heard I'm not to fond of it. I think the goverment already has to much control of what we can and can't do.

Do you think the Leopold School District is a good place for teachers to work? Why or why not?

Leopold is a great place to work. We have a wonderful community that supports our school unconditionaly. The parents are involved and we have great leaders set in place. We are a small school that believes in education and put the students best interest first.
