It's time that our educational system focuses on education!
Thank you for visiting my campaign website. I am a mom of three amazing kids, that have gone through the Leander ISD system. I have a recent LHS grad and currently have a senior at LHS and a middle schooler that just started a local charter. I have been outspoken about the decline in academics, and a champion for parental rights and privacy rights for children. I have exhausted all options to seek change and refocus our district on academics from my seat as a parent. The only way to have a real impact is from the seat of a trustee and I want to thank you for supporting me on this endeavor.
Restore Academic Excellence – I will emphasize textbooks as the best option for core curriculum, while shining a spotlight on untested and extraordinarily expensive electronic-based curriculum currently being used by Leander ISD. Digital curriculum is aligned to Common Core State Standards, which are standards created under Obama.
Retain and Recruit the Best Teachers and Staff – Make Leander ISD a destination district again by investing in our classrooms and teachers. Immediately begin conversations with teachers to find out what they need to do their jobs well and end restorative justice practices.
Replace SEL (Social Emotional Learning) with Solutions that Work for Everyone – SEL is experimental and has not been proven to lead to better outcomes. Digital curriculum infuses SEL and data mines children, collecting years of data on their attitudes, feelings, and thoughts. SEL is a huge source for parental rights and privacy rights violations. Let’s work to bring back “soft-skills” such as goal-setting, self-awareness, and time management that build up our students and give them a positive view of their current and future roles in American society.
Rein-in Spending – It’s time to open the books. I have spent countless hours reviewing LISD financials, comparing spend from the time when LISD was a destination district to current. I will fight for greater transparency and efficiency, making sure all contracts Leander ISD enters are done in an accountable fashion.
