Brevard Public Schools is facing a multitude of challenges now, as well as in the years ahead. I
am committed to meeting each of these challenges with action, common
sense, and fiscal responsibility. My education and professional
background (over 20 years in public education) has prepared me to be an
effective school leader. If re-elected. I will continue to
work with the same passion for our students and continue to be
responsive to the needs of our schools and community. I

What makes you the best candidate in 300 words or less?
I have not held a public office ever!
I
have integrity and we need someone to hold our school leaders
responsible when they are investigated for wrong-doing, instead of
allowing them to resign before they are prosecuted.
I
will make better education a priority and will not just talk about
getting rid of the FCATs I will actually do something about it.
