Main Focus
Fiscally Responsible
Maintain the integrity of our school district while utilizing the funds we have. Spend wisely; no tax increase, everyone's pockets are hurting. We need to be responsible and accountable with regards to all the districts monies. I know how to function on a shoestring budget. The learner will always come first, even when difficult decisions need to be made. Unfortunately, there will be some very difficult decisions to be made.
A Comprehensive Plan
All Lake Orion learners must come first. We need to challenge all learners at their level of study. We need to maintain the integrity of Lake Orion Schools. This includes advanced AP classes and our IEP classes. The learner deserves our best. This will insure that they receive the highest level of education from Lake Orion Schools.
Uncharted Territory
With all the virtual learning that is currently happening within our district, I want to make sure that we have a strong plan for all learners. It is imperative that all learners have peer interaction along with educators. I want to make sure we make every effort to aid in maintaining a healthy mental health for our learners. I propose small guided group interactions.
I also want to look into new technologies for our schools to keep our learners safe. Safety is extremely important to me. There are several new technological advancements available to help clean our schools, that will help lessen the spread of all viruses.
Making sure we have secure buildings for our learners is also important. Perhaps a new proposal for Veteran officers who can volunteer to help with our schools. With flag duty, school grounds during the start of school and at dismissal. Lake Orion has always had a strong sense of community. We rise to help!
