What is the most important issue facing the Advance School Board?

As a board member I feel we must see that each child in the district gets an education that will prepare them for their future in this ever changing job market. The financial situation that schools must deal with demands that the district plans and wisely budgets programs that will provide the best instruction for our student body.

For several years this district has been accredited with distinction from the state department of education and it is our job as board members to see this high standard continues into the future.

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

Having taught school here in the Advance District for many years and serving one term as a board member has given me insight concerning instruction, needs of students and teachers, and to the making of decisions and policies necessary for the Advance School District.
