Expand all | Collapse all

I am a mom who did not consider running for board until my son brought home below grade level homework, and until the teens that worked for me began to show their dissatisfaction with the lack of discipline within the schools. I am a service oriented person. I have been in service since I was 17yrs with military service, caring for father in law with dementia, family, friends in need; I understand what it is like to serve others. As this position requires service to others.
  • Balance the board. Too many unanimous votes without question and accountability.
  • Speak with students, teachers and parents. We do not require a committee in order to connect with our community one on one.
  • Find how we can be THE BEST school system in MD and implement it.
Parents involvement with their children.
I look up to Christ. He suffered greatly for the forgiveness of sins. This humbles me to know that my sufferings are not as great as His.
Integrity, inspiration, care and positive solutions.
Service.
By service, I mean listening without judgement, asking questions to find out more, making logical non-emotional decisions, and genuinely caring for all those involved
Supervision of half of Frederick County taxes be allocated and tracked properly.

Upholding high education standards.

Holding officials accountable to serve their community.
Some one who actually cared for all involved parties.
The Challenger we watched on TV carrying the first women to space and the Berlin Wall was torn down.

Challenger I was 4yrs.

The Berlin Wall I was 7 or 8yrs.
HaHa

My first tax payer job was Texas Roadhouse as a greeter.

I was there for 2 years.
Common Sense.
Because it is COMMON SENSE. So simple yet so profound.
The fish that climbed the tree. Because he overcame all odds.
Little Wing
Boredum.
I get bored easily. Once I have learned to do something well, I am ready for the next.
Supervision of public schooling and funds. Maintaining high educational standards in schools, teachers and administrators.
Those who agree and disagree with me. Those who I will listen and take consideration to in each deliberation of policy and allocation of funds.
Firstly, everyone is equal under our constitution. The needs of the community will be collectively given consideration with multiple solution avenues as we deliberate. As for special attention to one need, ALL needs require equal attention for a less divided outcome.
The schools. I would appreciate being available for each school in person to speak with parents, teachers, students and staff. Gaining knowledge of what they see for each of our many programs is what I seek to accomplish. No specific organization, all organizations. Even those who no longer have children in FCPS.
Great question!

Good teaching includes those who are able to grab the attention of those unwilling to learn. Good teaching strengthens classrooms by design. Good teaching holds themselves accountable with a bit of humility.

Measure this by student behavior, student and parent reviews.
Yes, I see a need for students to be able to begin work training as early as 9th grade.
Expand curriculum up to par with college as a basic curriculum in Elementary and Middle schools. Students going to college are not fully educated on courses required for entry and are now paying for high school education in college. This should not be happening.
Holding the transparency of allocated funds accountable.
All kids deserve to be safe. Safe from bodily harm or even death. They are our future and deserve the best at all times.
Not sure. I do think staff need to toughen up and stop taking things so personally. If someone is having a bad day, it has nothing to do with you personally, they are just having a bad day. How can staff and students become less emotional and more logical?
What did the skeleton say to the other skeleton before dinner?

Bone'apetit
I would like to get through the additional $300 million that FCPS has been granted first. That is A LOT for no new schools or updated facilities for our children.
This is difficult. Every student learns differently. Some learn better hands on, others learn better with books.

With that said, lower the gpa for CTC so students who have difficulties with books could learn hands on in a CTC program.

Teach them accountability in every thing they do in the school. Teach them to be stewards of their own future.
Horribly.

Kids are resilient and strong. Quit acting as if they are none of these things.

Let us motivate, uplift and inspire.
Visit schools at opening and dismissal. Maintaining an "open door" policy for anyone to reach out to me.
Based on conversations with teachers current and past, discipline either needs to be a focal point within continuing education. The how to's and how not to's.
Instead of immediately dismissing solutions, implement trials from proven success.
There is not enough transparency. When funds are grouped into a category without finite details, that lacks transparency.
