TO DO THIS I WILL:
1-PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR SCHOOLS
Kirkwood has a rich tradition of excellent schools, and this legacy must be protected by attracting and retaining excellent teachers, advocating throughout the region and state for public schools, and using our Prop R tax dollars wisely.
2-WORK TO IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The Kirkwood School Board has developed a strategic plan which will benefit the entire Kirkwood School District, and we need to make sure we provide data-driven, clear measurables and accountability to ensure that the goals are achieved.
3-ENSURE THE NEEDS OF EACH CHILD ARE MET
We need to meet kids where they are and help them reach their full potential. This requires early intervention to identify achievement gaps and regular follow-up. Now more than ever, after the tumultuous past few years of dealing with the pandemic, we need to check in on each child and respond to what they need.
4-LISTEN TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS
We have to listen to each other to find common ground because we all want what is best for our children. We need to bring all parties together to put in place the best policies for our children and ensure there is transparency in all that we do.
