Listening to what matters to LASD families

The core purpose of the LASD Board of Trustees is good governance, responsible stewardship of community resources, and representation of community values in our schools. I have the experience necessary get it right.

Opportunity for Every Student

LASD education has always been about developing well-rounded, curious, hard-working, and empathetic children, and preparing them both educationally and emotionally for high school and beyond. In order to continue to be successful, LASD must keep this promise for every student, from every background, and every corner of the district.

• Consistency in educational experience across every campus in LASD.

• Allocating resources where they are needed most, and making sure every child has the same opportunity to access all that LASD has to offer.

One Site, One School

Sharing campus space at Egan and Blach with BCS doesn’t benefit LASD students or BCS students. LASD’s middle school sites are overcrowded, and neither LASD nor BCS students have the space and facilities they need to thrive.

• LASD’s new San Antonio campus, now under construction, will help alleviate the overcrowding of LASD’s middle schools.

• LASD Board policy toward BCS should reflect an effort to locate each school (including BCS) on its own campus, and put an end to cramming multiple schools into a single site.

Giving Teachers the Tools They Need

Great students need great teachers. I have always championed giving teachers the resources, opportunities, and continuing education that make LASD a great place for them to work and a great place for children to learn.

• Continuing education and professional development opportunities for LASD teachers allow LASD students to benefit from research-backed methodologies and curriculums.

• Encouraging classroom innovation to make learning engaging and enjoyable.
