Do you currently hold the office for which you are running? No

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

I am a concerned parent and I have been a former employee and student of Cape Public School districts.I have also attended Missouri state university.

What do you believe is the greatest challenge facing your school district?

Communication problems between parents and difficult administrators on these topics: children who report bullying and being punished, threatening letters to parents for their sick child missing school, and lack of buss monitors. Another challenge the school is operating within their budget restraints and difficulty obtaining special education.

If elected, do you have any plans for improving the school district?

If elected I would have parental and student surveys to contribute to the decision of renewing contracts also I believe in having more empathetic and less authoritarian polices.
