INTEGRITY
I will return fiscal integrity to this office. On day one, I will create an in-house auditor position to prevent further waste of our taxpayer money. The results of all findings will be visible and accessible to the public. We will create several paths of input from the community, including a parent advisory committee.

Our office will partner with overlooked and underserved schools to make sure they have what they need to succeed. We will provide curriculum and instructional support for teachers and students to meet state and federal learning and scoring goals.
INCLUSION
