USD 231 currently has to take $6 million out of the General Fund every year to supplement special education services due to lack of state funding. This takes away from every student and staff member. We need a strong advocate on our school board to work with our representatives to change their votes on special education. I have the experience and education to make this happen.

Our community is tired of seeing our School Board in the news for all the wrong reasons. It’s time we start focusing on what our students need to be successful in college and careers. I’d be honored to bring my experience in higher education and as an entrepreneur to the table and lead the way to student success.

The Gardner-Edgerton Community deserves to know what’s going on with the school board. I’m committed to transparent leadership, providing clear and concise information on school-related news at the local, state, and federal levels. Private social media groups are an ineffective and undemocratic way to govern or lead.
