My main goal for becoming a board member: Strengthen our public schools system and get our students ready for college and beyond. Background Info:
The road has been challenging for public schools in this decade. Public schools nowadays have to compete with other schools (charter, private) to attract students while providing them with quality education amidst decreasing state funds. Vision:
While I
believe the purpose of a business is to create and maintain customers, I affirm that the mission of public schools is to attract and maintain students while providing top quality education. Therefore, I strongly believe in the mission of the Dearborn Public Schools district which emphasizes the partnership with families and the community which leads to high student achievement. While I value high student achievement as the #1 objective of this board; it’s also important that we provide a rewarding work atmosphere for teachers and students to thrive. Great teachers will yield great students. What I bring:
My involvement within the community has vastly shaped my leadership skills and I more than qualified and prepared to serve on the Board of Education. I bring my relationships with students, teachers, and staff that I have built over the years along with my business background. I also consider myself a representative of a huge segment of the district population that has never had a voice in this board. My four main goals for the district in the upcoming term if I am elected to be the a board member are to increase student academic achievement across the board, analyze and improve college readiness for our high school students, utilize technology to be more pro-active with parents and community, and bridge the academic gap between the under-performing and over-achieving students. We can achieve these goals with a balanced budget and fiscally responsible.
