School Board
I am DEDICATED to the quality public education.
I am COMMITTED to our children and our schools.
As a parent and citizen I am deeply CONCERNED about
. our schools.
. I believe a good BASIC education program with increased
emphasis on technology is necessary.
- I believe in DISCIPLINE, encouraging children to
THINK for themselves, and teaching them to WORK
TOGETHER.
Iam LEVEL-HEADED, FAIR, and I will use GOOD
JUDGEMENT in all issues. »
Jd am YOUNG, ENTHUSIASTIC, ORGANIZED and
READY TO WORK.
In 1991, when I first ran for election to the Board of
Education, I asked you to vote for me for the reasons listed
above. The reasons remain the same today (with the
exception that I am not as young as I used to be).
My husband Tim and I and our two daughters have lived in
Kings Mountain for almost 10 years. We still believe that
moving here was one of the best decisions that we ever
made.
I have learned a lot about our school system and how it
operates. The knowledge and experience that I have
gained will make me an even stronger board member.
I continue to be a strong advocate of public education. I
believe that our schools have improved over the past
4 several years and that our children are receiving a quality
4 education.
{ This does not mean that I think our schools are perfect.
There are still areas that need work and I would like to
have the opportunity to continue working toward these
improvements.
