Look around. Westlake is not growing. Young families can't afford $2 million homes. Parents and grandparents aren't moving out either. Our student population is in decline yet we must upgrade our facilities to contemporary standards, for sure. However, do we bring on as much as $1 Billion in bond debt to pay for a school district that is too big for our population...or do we build the future that suits our community size?

Building Community Trust

There are many parents in our community that do not feel seen, heard or included. I intend to change that dynamic and bring people together like I have done over the past 2 years with this podcast. Viewpoints from all sides on all issues. Unafraid to communicate and a natural curiosity in what taxpayers, parents, teachers and students want to share. The current board of trustees must do a much better job to regain the lost trust in our community. I will lead that effort as your new trustee.

Measuring excellence will be easy considering the top-talent we already have in the district. We must end 20% attrition by thinking differently about compensating teachers and keeping them here long enough to build a new legacy. I will lead this effort.
