As a husband to a Park Hill staff member, I hear about the reality of our schools at the dinner table. It's time to cut the red tape and give our educators their time back.
I run a campaign based on financial data and logic, but when it comes to supporting our staff, the most important data points are the stories I hear directly from the people inside our buildings.
Our teachers are exhausted. Not by their students, but by the relentless administrative bloat. Between endless district-mandated initiatives, excessive paperwork, and "Action Team" meetings that pull them out of their classrooms, our educators are being stretched too thin.
My philosophy is simple: Keep teachers in their classrooms. Keep support staff in their buildings. Keep building administrators focused on their hallways, not on Zoom calls or meetings at the district office.
Teachers belong in front of students, not in mandatory professional development seminars that don't apply to their classrooms.
TAs (Teacher Assistants), front office workers, custodians, and other support staff are the glue holding our schools together. They should not be used as gap-fillers for systemic shortages.
Principals and Assistant Principals should be visible leaders in their schools, not middle-managers tied to their desks answering to the district office.
Whether you are a teacher, TA, custodian, other support staff, or parent, I need your help to change the direction of this district.
