Campaign Priority

Inclusion Should Be an Action,
Not a Seminar.

It’s time to stop spending tax dollars on consultants and committees, and start spending them on getting students into the classroom, onto the field, and onto the bus.

The Philosophy

What is "Practical Inclusion"?

True inclusion isn't achieved through expensive administrative frameworks or by hiring outside consulting firms. True inclusion happens when we remove the financial and logistical barriers that keep students from participating in their own education.

"Our current board supports the 'Access and Inclusion' budget as it stands. I support auditing it to prioritize students over systems."

A Smarter Budget

How we can fund student success without raising taxes.

What We Will PROTECT

These are current programs that offer tangible, direct benefits to students. I will ensure these funds are lock-boxed and expanded.

  • Expanded Transportation Busing to CAPS, summer school, and professional studies so every student can attend, regardless of whether their parents work days.
  • Fee Elimination Covering costs for field trips, sports, and extracurriculars. No child should sit on the sidelines because they can't afford the jersey.
  • Course Variety Maintaining diverse elective options so students can study subjects that engage and inspire them.

What We Will REDIRECT

These are administrative costs that do not directly touch the classroom. I will move this money into the "Protect" column.

  • External Consultants Stop paying outside firms to tell us how to interact. That budget should buy textbooks, not slideshows.
  • Administrative Councils Reduce the bureaucracy of "Action Teams" and "Councils" that generate paperwork rather than student outcomes.
  • Theoretical Frameworks Shift focus from writing "Drivers and Narratives" documents to funding actual classroom resources.

The Roadmap

My 3-Step Plan for Practical Inclusion

1

Audit the Overhead

Review every line item in the Access & Inclusion budget. If it pays a consultant, we scrutinize it. If it pays for a student, we keep it.

2

Expand the Tangible

Take the savings from administrative cuts and put them directly into expanding bus routes for career programs, and lowering activity fees.

3

Measure Results

Stop measuring success by how many "councils" we have. Start measuring it by how many students are participating in extracurriculars.
