My highest priorities are as follows:

ALL students, regardless of their career orientation or educational path, deserve an education that will help them reach their potential.
Focus on the development of the whole student, not just that portion of the student assessed through the current system of mandated testing.
As wages in other occupational areas rise, wages for teachers and para-professionals must remain competitive.
Potential looming shortage of para-professionals as the economy improves.
I want to help ensure future generations are adequately prepared for their roles in an increasingly complex society.
Student loan debt crisis for personnel entering the teaching profession.
Full funding by the state for K-12 education.
