WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING SCOTT CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS?:

I think the most important issue concerning this year's election is the same as it is every year, the students of Scott City School. I will do everything In my power to ensure that the students are getting the best education possible from the best faculty in the state of Missouri. I would like to improve our facilities  to fit the need of the students and faculty and in doing that we need to make ourselves readily available to all the grants and funding possible. 

WHAT IN YOUR BACKGROUND OR EDUCATION MAKES YOU QUALIFIED FOR THIS OFFICE?:

Working as a conductor for Union Pacific, teamwork and communication are skills that must be practiced everyday to get the job done correctly. I plan on bringing these same attributes to the school board. What I lack in experience I make up for with energy and passion. It wasn't very long ago I myself walked through the halls of Scott City as a student. I view this as an advantage because it gives me a unique perspective to relate to both students and faculty.
