Our Platform

Here’s what I’m fighting for in Ward H—real solutions for students, families, and educators, grounded in experience and backed by community needs.

1. Parent Voice,Always Heard

I will ensure parents’ voices are at the center of decision-making by hosting regular forums—with multilingual access—so families from all backgrounds can speak freely, shape decisions, and receive real-time responses. Upholding parental rights means making sure every parent, no matter what language they speak, can actively participate in their child’s education. Parents are partners in education, and these forums will guarantee that their perspectives are always respected and heard.

2. Safe Schools, Zero Tolerance

Our students deserve learning environments free from violence, drug use, and vaping. I’ll support the return of School Resource Officers (SROs) with proper training and community oversight. A zero-tolerance policy for drugs and weapons in schools, paired with early intervention, is essential to restoring safety and peace of mind for families and staff.

3. True Inclusion for Neurodiverse Learners

Inclusion should be more than a word. I’ll advocate for consistent, properly funded EA support, more specialized training for staff, and resources that reflect the needs of neurodiverse students. Every child—regardless of ability—deserves a classroom where they’re seen, supported, and set up to thrive.

4. Upholding Fundamental Rights

I will uphold every student’s right to free speech and religion within our public schools. By fostering spaces for open, civil, and respectful dialogue, students can share ideas, challenge perspectives, and learn from one another. Our classrooms should model how to disagree with dignity and engage in conversations that enrich our society.

5. A Student Senate, Elected by Students

No more token leadership roles handpicked by school staff. I’ll introduce a democratic student senate in every high school, where students elect peers to raise real issues, propose changes, and collaborate across schools. Student voice should be authentic, respected, and empowered to influence board-level decisions that shape their daily lives.

6. $2,000 Community Impact Scholarship

I’m setting aside my own money—$2,000 annually—to award student-led projects that solve real-life problems in our schools or communities. This grant will be open to any Ward H student who creates meaningful change through civic action, innovation, or inclusion. Let’s reward leadership that doesn’t wait for permission to serve.
