Every student deserves a quality school, and I am committed to eliminating barriers to every student having what they need, when they need it. We need to prepare young people for the future; we need to teach them both the good and the bad of our history so that they better understand the lives, cultures, and experiences of different people.

We need each other; our fates and futures as neighborhoods and communities are intertwined, despite perceived differences. All of us—students, families, teachers, principals, district leaders, and the school board—must work together in courageous, compassionate, empathetic, smart, civil, and strategic ways to create the kinds of learning experiences and outcomes all our young people deserve.
