"With wise and responsible use of our resources, we have the opportunity to ensure all (K-12) our students will never be limited in realizing their full learning potential.

As a parent with a child in Burnsville Schools and an active member of the community I am confident that we can balance our fiscal responsibilities while implementing superior education policies for all students.  As a school board member I will work to hold the federal government accountable for their mandates.

I give of my time and energy because I genuinely care about all students in this district, and want to represent their best interests."
