ALOHA TUCSON!

Leadership needs to improve at all levels in our community. Below is taken verbatim from the Arizona School Boards Association, In addition to Advocating for our Students (and their Parents), assuring Accountability, I will continue to fight for our individual freedoms and liberties for the parents and their children attending our public schools.

"Ensure Accountability As the community’s representative in the local schools, the board is responsible for ensuring that the schools are well run – that resources are used wisely and that high standards for academic performance are set. The board as a whole needs to monitor performance to meet established goals – academic, financial and operational.

Advocate for Your Students One of the board’s most important roles is to be the ambassador for public education in the community. As individuals, each board member can help communicate the ways in which their local schools are supporting student educational needs, parent and community aspirations, and state and federal standards. Together, the board also can demonstrate that an atmosphere of collaboration and respect is the most conducive environment for providing the best education for children in the community."
