My Priorities

My Top 3 Priorities for the Next 4 Years

I. Strong Schools for Student Success

West Lafayette schools are among the best in Indiana because of our outstanding teachers, dedicated staff, strong administrative leadership, rigorous academic programs, and the unwavering support of families and our entire community. I am committed to supporting high-quality teachers, educational excellence, and opportunities that empower every student to succeed. By advancing school district’s vision of Excellent Education for Everyone, we prepare our children for the future while preserving the tradition of excellence that has made our schools a hallmark of our community.

II. Fiscal Responsibility for Long-Term Stability

Strong schools require responsible stewardship of public resources. I believe every tax dollar should be spent wisely, transparently, and with a focus on long-term sustainability. As public schools face increasing financial challenges, we must balance educational excellence with sound budgeting, careful fiscal planning, and accountability to taxpayers.

III. Community Engagement & Investment in the Future

Our local schools are the cornerstone of a strong and stable community. They bring families together, support property values, attract new residents and businesses, and create opportunities for future generations. I will continue working collaboratively and listening to parents, teachers, students, taxpayers, and community members to ensure our schools remain one of our community’s greatest assets and a lasting investment for generations to come.
