- Fix the Bus Crisis with Smart, Sustainable Solutions
When transportation breaks down, students are left vulnerable on the street, and that’s a safety issue first and foremost. My focus is on reliable, responsible solutions that protect students, support drivers, reduce stress on working families, and responsibly explore community partnerships that ease the daily burden on families. - Financial Literacy for Every Student
“Graduates should leave high school with real-world skills—not just test scores.” I will prioritize the inclusion of age-appropriate financial education, from basic banking to credit, taxes, and long-term budgeting, empowering students with the knowledge they need to succeed independently.. - Career & Technical Education (CTE) That Leads to Real Jobs
“Not every student needs a four-year degree, but every student deserves a future.” I support partnerships with local industries, trade unions, and certification programs that offer high schoolers career pathways in skilled trades, healthcare, technology, and more—especially those in demand in Pasco County. - Family-Friendly School Models and Schedules
By thoughtfully expanding K–8 and 6–12 school models where they make sense, we can simplify transportation, reduce staggered start times, and build stronger school communities where families with children in multiple grade levels feel supported, connected, and known.. - Core Academics Transparency and Parental Rights
I support clear academic standards in literacy, math, science, and civics, along with commonsense policies like limiting cell phone use during instruction so teachers can teach and students can learn. Thoughtfully implemented transparency measures protect both students and educators by providing clarity and accountability. We already trust cameras on school buses, in daycares and even in doggie kennels, because transparency reduces conflict and allows teachers to focus on instruction, not accusations.. - Smart, Ethical Use of Technology and AI
“Let’s use innovation to uplift, not replace, great teaching.” I will advocate for the selective use of AI tools that help personalize learning, such as matching students to their level in reading or math without replacing critical skills like handwriting, note-taking, or reading physical texts. AI can help teachers support advanced students and provide scaffolding for those who need more time when used responsibly. - Protect Taxpayers with Efficiency and Transparency
Protect and respect every dollar in the budget by demanding efficiency, transparency and accountability in spending. Push for corporate partnerships and community initiatives that expand opportunities without increasing taxes..
