ABOUT ME
Putting My Experience
to Work
I am a lifelong resident of Wyandotte County, Kansas. While working on a school bond issue in Wyandotte, I was checking data over the last nine years, and was appalled at the dropping level of the ACT scores statewide.
Because I care about my community, and know the value of education, I decided to run for the Kansas Board of Education to make a difference for all of our students.
Over the past decade social engineering has replaced education. The train is off the tracks. We need to return to teaching science, mathematics and English Language Arts. Let's not forget about educating students to US History and US Government - Civics.
