Why are you running for school board?

I would like to be a Lisle District School Board member in an effort to address, research and advocate decision making that continues to create the best possible academic experience for our children.
 
What are the best qualities of Lisle schools?

I truly believe that we have educators, administrators and parents who care about the success of our children’s education.   

What are the challenges facing School District 202? 

I believe that given the current economic and societal demands of our community the greatest challenges of Lisle School District 202 are: 1. Maintain current academic/cultural opportunities and improve where possible. 2. Anticipate students’ needs in these matters.              

The state of Illinois' finances are strained. Do you feel the district is financially secure?

At this point in time, I believe our School District to be financially secure.

What do you want voters to know about you?

If elected to Lisle District School Board 202 I will do my best to be an advocate for the entire student body, keeping the best interest of the student body primary in all decision making.
