I am running for the 2nd District School Board because I firmly believe it is the human and constitutional right. Every child in the Richmond Public School System should be provided the right to an excellent education regardless of background, obstacles, or economic status. I believe that every Richmond Public School student is entitled to the best in buildings, safe environment, technology equipment, and quality instruction.  I think that my many years of service to the school and community will make me a very informed and knowledgeable school board member. I have established good working relationships with students, school staff, teachers, and parents in the community.

​

Most importantly, I want you to know that I am a mother, mentor and advocate who will continue to stand up for education. My husband and I have two adopted sons who attend Richmond Public Schools, which gives me a personal vested interest in the success of our schools. I have great aspirations, concerns, and tenacity for improvements to ensure that all students have the best. Our children's future deserves and is entitled to the best public education. 

I would very much appreciate your vote on November 3, 2020.  

​

I will advocate for all students to be academically ready and nourished, both physically and mentally.

​

Thank you,
