As a teacher, I wake up everyday with the goal to empower students to change the world. As a father, I want that very same thing for my children and their classmates. The student is the center of the educational experience. It is time we, in the Etiwanda School District, ensure our students are the center of the Etiwanda School District experience.
With over 20 years teaching experience, I have learned the value of every stakeholder’s voice: student, teacher, parent, and community member. I have learned the power of partnership and the importance of community and culture. I have learned that it takes a village to raise a child. Let’s come together to raise our children up so they can change their world.
As your new school board member, I will:
Make 21st century skills (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) a priority.
Empower all educational stakeholders by giving them a voice.
Promote cultural diversity to enrich student education.
Provide a safe environment so all students can learn to take risks and thrive.
