1. I believe that a non-centralized education plan, run at a local level education system, will offer the best outcome for our children's future. When we allow federal and state programs to govern local decisions,  we undermine the best efforts of our parents, teachers and local schools.  I believe that the governments of our local community have the ability to address future and immediate needs if we are left to govern ourselves.
2.  I believe that current teacher evaluations hurt educational efforts by shifting teaching efforts from students to test scores in an effort get stronger evaluations. 
3. I will advocate for keeping property taxes generated in District 53 in District 53. By doing so, these funds will benefit our students and our schools.  Property taxes were established with control at a local level. When we allow centralization of property tax, the people lose their voice and control over how and when they can be taxed.
4. I will advocate for greater local control and discretion on how funds will be administered.
