Better schools make better communities.  This axiom is recognized as foundational and it remains as true today as ever.  In recognition of this, I fully support Tukwila’s efforts to create exceptional schools for its students. 

As a member of the Tukwila School Board, I will persist in making sure the District remains focused on transparency.  All parents and guardians need full access to District achievements, classroom curriculum and the plans to correct deficiencies.

Along with our dedicated teaching staff and administration, I will press to keep academics at the forefront and the primary purpose of Tukwila’s schools. With the intense competition for future employment, positioning Tukwila students to compete on a global scale has never been more important. To further promote student success, District accountability is crucial.  Accountability starts with the School Board accepting the challenge to lead effectively.  I look forward to this challenge and bettering our community.
