I am a proud Spring-Ford parent. Having worked in the tech industry for 15 years, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of technology, and I am committed to ensuring that our schools have the resources and tools necessary to prepare our students for the future.
I am committed to being a strong advocate for the growth and development of STEM programs.
I will work to promote equitable access to quality education, foster strong partnerships with parents and the community, and prioritize the well-being of our students.
Personnel
I want our teachers and staff to have more learning opportunities so they can do their jobs even better, especially in areas like special education and helping students who are learning English. I also believe in making our schools a great place to work so that our best teachers and staff want to stay, making school better for all students.
Academics
It’s critical that our teachers use information about how students are doing to enhance their learning, especially in math. I also believe that we need to work harder to ensure all students are achieving reading proficiency. This means using research-based teaching methods that we know work.
I firmly believe in fostering a strong proficiency in reading and advancing achievement in mathematics among our students. This involves leveraging individual student data to tailor instruction and utilizing proven, effective teaching methodologies to enhance the comprehension and application of reading and math skills.
I strongly believe we need to help our students become really good at reading and excel in math. This means our teachers should understand each student’s progress and use this knowledge to guide them better. We should also use teaching methods proven to make reading and math learning effective and enjoyable.
Infrastructure
I want to make sure our schools are safe places where students and staff feel secure, both physically and emotionally. This means working with others to plan how our schools should look and what they need for the future. I also want to ensure our teachers have everything they need to help students learn, including up-to-date technology and other resources.
Long Term Fiscal Planning
I am dedicated to smart and careful long-term planning that makes the most of every dollar for our schools. This way, we can give our students the top-quality education they deserve while respecting our taxpayers by using their hard-earned money wisely and responsibly.
