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

The crumbling infrastructure at the Pleasant View complex needs to be addressed. Human Services need to be housed in a facility that offers safety and privacy to the clients and the staff. The nursing home needs to be modernized. I will endeavor to help get a referendum placed on the ballot so that we can move forward with these necessary infrastructure improvements.
