Qualifications for a Board Trustee position

Four qualities distinguish me from my opponent

1) My experience on the board – Understanding the districts challenges and decisions around curriculum, budget and funding, legislation, board policies, and the safety of our children requires a commitment. I continue to learn essential elements that help me do this volunteer position more effectively. Secondly, any school board trustee should hold an unequivocal support for the system of public education that is being challenged in the state of Idaho under a bill that will direct tax revenue to private school choices. To be clear, having freedom of choice is good in all aspects of our lives - putting tax payers on the hook for those school choices is not good. Third, having been in Moscow for 20+ years, my relationships with teachers, patrons and community members helps me to objectively listen and collaboratively navigate my responsibility to the taxpaying base in making decisions in the best interest of our both our public schools and our community. Lastly, I have spent a career in higher education in which I have advocated for 1) student learning outcomes, 2) the open exchange of ideas and 3) the right of teachers be treated well and compensated fairly.
