==Insights==
My fifteen years of teaching
experience in the Pittsburgh Public Schools system will be
an asset to the School Board.
As a current teacher, I will be
able to determine how effective
the board policy decisions are
in the classroom. I will share
my insight with the board. I am
passionate about the students
receiving a quality education
that meets their needs. I am
willing to listen to other
people's perspective and
experience.
I am a professional and work with
the public on a daily basis as a
teacher. I am respectful of
others' opinion. As a former
engineer, all decisions I made
were based upon research, data,
and best practices. I am
experienced in time management
and providing services within a
budget.
I believe the role of the School
board is to set educational
goals, policies to reach these
goals, and create a budget that
is effective in attaining these
goals. As a board member,
my responsibility is to use the
taxpayers money efficiently in
providing educational
opportunities for our children.
== Details ==
I am an educator who has worked in the
District for fifteen years. I have the
unique perspective of witnessing and
experiencing the impact of school policies
in the classroom on a daily basis. I will be
able to provide leadership and
understanding to my fellow Board
members about how their decisions may
impact students. I have served on a
curriculum reform and leadership
committee.
The most critical issue facing the
Pittsburgh Public School District is
meeting the educational attainment
goals within a limited budget. I will,
therefore, focus educational dollars into
the classroom where it impacts the
students most.
Focus educational dollars into the
