While my heart lies in public education, my soul works to see that every child has the opportunity to achieve success. I provide the perspective necessary to build a learning community that will prepare children for their futures. As AASA president, I would challenge our critics and promote our successes. I would also propose national pension portability so that each of us can determine our own future. Our families should not be penalized for our willingness to serve.
Educational leaders are the caretakers of the nation's schoolchildren.
If the caregiver suffers, so does the child. Leadership is about reaching out and caring from the heart. I recognize the diverse needs of children and the value of public education. I am a public education advocate. I am interested in serving on the AASA Executive Committee primarily to represent and give voice to the underrepresented small school districts.
