PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE:

Cascade School District Board Member appointed 1998
As a member of the Cascade School District, I believe
our schools are the foundation for educating our children, preparing their
career paths, and strenghtening our community. We face several challenges
today with aging schools, rapidly changing technology, and uncertain school
funding. We must all work together to give our children the opportunities
to succeed.
I have been a life-long resident of this community,
attending Turner Elementary and Cascade Union High School. My son and
daughter attend Cascade Junior High and Senior High Schools. For the past
several years I have been involved coaching my children’s sport
teams. Currently I am on the Board of the Cascade Little League.
The reason I am seeking re-election to the School
Board is to ensure the children of our community get a solid education.
With my teaching and financial background I will ensure the patrons of the
community fiscal responsibility in our schools operations. As diverse as
this district is, I will strive to represent all areas equally.
As a member of the Board since 1998, I believe the
Board has been fiscally responsible and proactive during these uncertain
financial times.
Please allow me this opportunity to continue to serve
you by re-electing me to the Cascade School Board. Thank you for your
support.
