I am retired from the Freeport School District of 27 years. I believe with my experience in the District it gives me insight of how the District operates and the needs and desires of the children. I have worked at every school in the District as a substitute because the staff is confident in my ability, so they request my presence. I have a good relationship with the staff and students as well as parents from the students I have had down through the years. People know me to be open, honest, willing to help in every area, and very trustworthy.

My goals for the office are:

• To make sure every student receives equal and fair treatment in every area of their school experience. To make sure every student receives the adequate education that is due to them regardless of race, religion, or personal background. To see that every child comes to a safe environment with no judgement.
• To hold the Superintendent accountable while they serve in their position. The Superintendent has a responsibility to serve all children and staff fairly. Part of our responsibilities as a Board Member is to make sure the children are receiving everything they need to be successful. To make sure the staff receives fair wages and appropriate treatment from not only fellow workers but the Administration.
• To see that each Board Member serves with no ulterior motive. The Board Member’s position should be to improve every aspect of the School District’s operations. To see that every student become successful with the assistance of every principal, teacher, counselor, social worker, lunchroom aide, or even the custodial staff. This is an overall team effort
