My approach to School Committee service is grounded in responsible governance, transparency, and student-centered decision-making while trusting our educators to support all our students as they reach their full potential. I support long-term financial planning that aligns budgets with educational priorities, avoids crisis-driven cuts, and clearly communicates tradeoffs to the community. I believe the School Committee must provide a balance of oversight and support while respecting educators' and administrators' professional roles, and using data and clear metrics to evaluate programs and outcomes. I am committed to protecting student-facing services, particularly special education, academic supports, and mental health resources, while ensuring equity is embedded in policy and practice, not treated as optional. I will advocate for clear accountability, collaborative problem-solving, and policies that sustain high-quality teaching and learning for all students while maintaining public trust and fiscal responsibility. 

A Balanced Triangle for Strong Schools

Students • Teachers • Parents/Caregivers

Every strong school system rests on balance. Students, teachers, and parents/caregivers are equal partners, connected through responsible governance, transparency, and long-term planning.

At the Center of the Triangle

Student Outcomes • Educator Support • Parent/Caregiver Trust

Held together by responsible governance, fiscal sustainability, and a shared commitment to strong public schools.
