Campaign Objectives
As your candidate for the Garvey School District Board of Education, I am focused on the following key objectives:
School Safety
The safety of our children is my highest priority. I am dedicated to upgrading security systems in our schools with modern technology, such as real-time camera streams and panic buttons for staff. It's essential that every teacher, student, and parent feels confident in the safety measures we have in place to prevent and respond to emergencies. I will also prioritize securing the necessary funding by identifying and applying for grants that will allow us to implement these enhanced safety protocols and technologies throughout our district.
Academic Excellence for All
Our district must prioritize the success of every student, ensuring that we support those who are struggling while also providing opportunities for students who are eager to excel.
I will strongly advocate for afterschool programs that cater to all learning levels, offering targeted assistance for students who need extra help, as well as enrichment programs for high achievers seeking to challenge themselves further.
In addition, I plan to reintroduce Saturday school, giving students the opportunity to make up missed days and stay on track academically.
By addressing the diverse needs of our students, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
Enhance Parent-Teacher Collaboration
Effective communication and collaboration between parents and teachers are crucial to a student's success, as it fosters a supportive learning environment both at home and in school. I will advocate for policies and programs that facilitate consistent, open, and meaningful dialogue between parents and educators.
By encouraging regular feedback, joint problem-solving, and active participation from both sides, we can create a strong partnership focused on student achievement. My goal is to build a community where parents and teachers work hand-in-hand to ensure that every student reaches their full potential.
Building Futures with STEAM and Dual Language Learning
Fostering excellence in education is essential, and I am committed to advancing both STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) and Dual Language programs in our district. STEAM education encourages students to excel in critical disciplines, and I fully support initiatives that promote excellence in these areas.
Additionally, recognizing the rich diversity of our student population, I will advocate for our ESL immersion program to better integrate Chinese and Spanish-speaking students. By focusing on these educational aims, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. profesional but yet casual
Advocate for Teachers and Staff
Our teachers and staff are the backbone of our education system, and they deserve not only fair wages but also access to continuous opportunities for professional growth and development. I am committed to creating a positive and supportive work environment where educators feel valued, respected, and empowered to excel in their roles.
By advocating for competitive compensation, ample resources, and ongoing training, we can ensure that our teachers and staff have the tools and support they need to deliver the highest quality education to our students. I will tirelessly champion these causes because when we invest in our educators, we invest in the future of our children.
