Here’s What I Believe

YOUR representative needs to represent YOUR values, here is what I believe.

    • I am a board member who listens to my constituents and I will roll up my sleeves and do the research.

    • Doing more with less is possible, and Jordan District is more efficient in per student spending.

    • I take the responsibility of spending taxpayer dollars seriously. And I don't take debt lightly.
      Of the 41 school districts in Utah, Jordan School District has the 12th lowest Board Local Levy, AND Property Taxes in Jordan are 37.5% lower than the state average per student

    • I believe that intelligent design for buildings—catering to both current and future student and technological needs—doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag. In fact, Jordans schools have more capacity for students, and stand out for being both cost-effective and highly functional.

    • I am committed to fiscal responsibility and believe that our resources should be focused where they matter most: on the students. By reducing expenditures on high-level positions, we can allocate more funds directly to areas that have a meaningful impact on their education.

    • I value keeping Educator pay high to attract and retain the best teaching talent available while keeping property taxes low by spending smarter.

    • There is no such thing as a one-size fits all solution to learning. Teachers need to have the space, knowledge, and resources to INDIVIDUALIZE education.

    • Expanding programs like the Jordan Academy for Technology and Careers (JATC) and enhancing access to resources such as concurrent enrollment and AP opportunities ensures that all students receive a valuable head start in their academic and professional lives.

    • Virtually opening up doors to all learners through the incorporation of technology, virtual academies, and real world experiences in the classroom.

    • Rigorous, vetted curriculum that challenges students and exceeds State standards.

    • Supporting children in learning how to focus in class and creating solutions for managing negative behaviors.

    • Supporting educators by decreasing electronic distractions in class.

    • Competitive pay for substitutes supports positive school climates.

    • Support Professionals are essential to classroom success and competitive pay fosters retention and provides consistency for children.

    • In creating a culture of support in our schools.  

    • Administrative Intern roles provide growth opportunities as well as support for teachers while saving taxpayer dollars.

    • Jordan School District leads the State in having licensed Counselors and/or Clinical Social Workers in every single school.
