I am running for the ESU 3 Board because I believe parents deserve to understand what ESU 3 is doing, how its resources are supporting our schools and what progress we are making for students.
I want to bring greater transparency and accessibility to the Board and give parents
someone they can have an actual conversation with. That means listening to parents, understanding their concerns and priorities, and making it easier for families to see how ESU 3 is supporting their local schools.
As a former teacher, I also understand how important it
is for educators to have effective tools, resources and training. I want to ensure those resources are reaching the districts that need them, that teacher training respects the values and priorities of parents and local communities, and that we remain focused on helping our students learn, grow and succeed.
