What are the top issues facing this district/board and how would you work to resolve them?

At this point I have nothing in my crosshairs. Currently, my knowledge of school board operations is limited and I plan on learning and understanding those operations and procedures before really trying to be the catalyst for change.



What are other key issues facing the district/board, and how would you work to resolve them?

In my mind, we need to make sure we can provide the best education for the families in the community that the community can support.



Why are you the best candidate for this office?

I have four kids that (two in, two soon to be in) that are in the schools so will have children being educated there for the next 16 years. I have a vested interest in them receiving a good education and that is my goal if I become a school board member. I am a bit younger than the current members and may represent the next generation of families in the Argyle area. At the very least, a bit of variety on the board.
