Parents as Partners
Schools are strongest when families, teachers, administrators, and trustees work together with mutual respect and transparency.

Students and educators deserve schools that are physically and emotionally safe, welcoming, disciplined, and focused on learning.

Families deserve open communication, accessible information, thoughtful oversight, and trustees willing to ask difficult questions.
Experience Matters
Four Years of Proven School Board Leadership
Serving on the Pleasant Ridge Union School District Board has provided firsthand experience with decisions involving student achievement, curriculum, budgets, staffing, facilities, policies, and long-term planning.
A trustee must be willing to listen, research, ask questions, challenge assumptions, collaborate, and ultimately make decisions based on what best serves students.
“My first term was about helping move important conversations forward. My second term will be about finishing the work.”
