Pivot! After meeting some pretty amazing people in my campaign journey, I thought I'd flip the switch and see how we can create a culture of compassion. When so many people in our nation seem convinced a culture of cruelty is best, how can we do better?

I want to thank everyone who voted, made calls, grabbed signs, and spread my message. Thank you to those who helped battle the personal attacks in our community and on-line. It was a tight race. I will continue to be an advocate for our teachers and students and will be forever grateful for your support.

I just finished watching the school board meeting tonight where they shared the results of the strategic plan goals and strategies our district has in place to improve our academic proficiencies.

The results were impressive! Is there room for improvement? Of course.

I encourage you to look at the Strategic Plan & World’s Best Workforce Plan Update that was presented tonight with the link attached below.

Of the 327 schools in our state, our district ranked 25th in math, 33rd in reading, and 34th in science. Of districts our size (14,000 students-8th largest), we ranked 2nd in math, 3rd in reading, and 3rd in science.

I also didn't know what the World's Best Workplace plan was so I have also included a link with an overview of that program.

I am grateful for the hard work our teachers, support staff, and administrators have done to improve our outcomes.

I need your feedback! A few of you have messaged me asking to discuss the safety issues in our schools. I have talked to teachers, administrators, subs, paras, and parents and then took the time to review our District Prevention and Safety policies along with our state mandates.

I would love to hear more details about concerns regarding our school safety and areas where things are working and where they are not. I'm happy to get messages and then post concerns anonymously.

My understanding of the main areas are as follows:
1. How to keep our teachers/subs/paras/students safe with students that have self-regulation issues.
2. The safety of our facilities.
3. Consequences for students who bully or harass other students.

What else am I missing? I'm here to learn and look forward to a productive conversation!

Safety Initiatives at ISD 728 Our Student Survey shows that 90% of our district students surveyed report feeling safe!
