What is the most important issue facing the Leopold School District?

The recent issue involving out-of-district students is the most important issue. I'm looking forward to working with the current members of the school board and faculty members on issues like this. They've done an excellent job to-date, and I hope to be a part of successful future.

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

I am a graduate of Leopold High School and have been a part of the community all my life. I feel I have a grasp on what the Leopold community wants and expects from school board members.

Why are you better qualified than your opponent(s)?

I have worked as a supervisor for several years and have played a major role in decision making. I hope to put this experience to use in the Leopold community.
