Public schools are the backbone of a strong community and should prepare students for the challenges of the modern world so that they can be productive members of society. We will work to ensure PV provides high-quality education for ALL students with a focus on academic achievement in a supportive environment. We believe that students can best achieve their potential when education focuses on the whole student and fosters the skills necessary to navigate a diverse and complex world. We believe that we are partners with our teachers, staff, and administration and the broader community and, together, we can work to provide high quality education while managing within our budgets.
While our opponents focus on culture wars and political agendas, we will focus on what matters – education and building the brightest possible future for our students and community.
We believe:
- A strong public education system is the backbone of a strong community
- We support high standards for education, integrity, and behavior
- Creating a healthy learning environment is essential for safe and supportive schools
- A positive school climate focuses on the whole student and promotes civility, compassion, and a sense of belonging for all people
- Our community deserves fiscal responsibility
- Budgets should allocate resources in a manner that optimizes value and supports educational goals
- Transparent communication is essential for responsible decision-making
- Thoughtful engagement with all stakeholders should include administration, staff, parents, students, and the broader community
We’re looking forward to engaging with you all in the months ahead and earning your vote in the November election!
