Why I am Running...

​

I first ran for Vigo County School Board at the height of the pandemic, declaring in the summer of 2020. That seemed like insanity to most people, but I had

a deep sense of calling

that continues to this day. 

​

I am running for re-election to the School Board because I am proud of the work we are doing to move Vigo County School Corporation forward through our new Superintendent. I want to continue to support that. As a full-time professional in education and workforce policy and a VCSC parent, I have value to add to the governance of our public schools.

​

People say being a School Board member is a thankless job. But the reweard in this work comes from the tangible proof of improvements for our schools.

​

What We've Done So Far:

• Transparent Process Hiring New Superintendent

• New Legal Counsel

• The VCSC Learning Lab

• Steady Budget Costs Year over Year

• Big Steps Toward Improving Teacher Pay (ongoing work!)

• McKibben Demographics Studies

• Facilities Studies and Regular Updates at Board Meetings

• Updated, Living, Breathing Maintenance Plan

• Public Finance, Bond, and Policy Committee Meetings

​

I continue to be a believer in this institution and its capacity to serve young people and build up our community through education. I also love Terre Haute and Vigo County, and there is no where else she would rather serve. (Read the Tribune Star article, "It's Beautiful Here.") 

​

Help me continue to right the ship and steer VCSC into a bright future for our students and our entire community.
