Platform

As your school board representative, I will continue to work diligently to:
amplify student successes, ensure safe learning centers, and promote community engagement.

Amplify
student successes

The entire City of Akron should take pride in our district’s successes, as Akron Public Schools proudly showcases a diverse range of educational excellence and stands as a national leader in multiple facets of teaching and learning. To truly demonstrate the quality of instruction within our school district, there is no better approach than to hear it directly from our students. 

The act of amplifying student voices is not merely a symbolic gesture, but an essential endeavor. While traditional academic metrics hold significance, they only offer a glimpse into the comprehensive realm of education. By actively listening to our students, we foster an inclusive and empowering environment that honors their individual journeys, aspirations, and triumphs. By placing student voices at the forefront, we not only cultivate high achievers but also develop compassionate and engaged individuals poised to make a transformative impact in their communities and beyond.

Let us unite in our commitment to amplify student voices and ensure Akron’s educational legacy continues to thrive.

Ensure safe learning centers

A safe school environment a fundamental necessity. School safety is not only crucial for student success, growth, and well-being but also for instilling confidence in the greater community. Our devoted teachers and staff deserve a secure and supportive environment as they guide our students’ educational journeys. 

Beyond physical security, it is important to foster a culture of respect and inclusion, where every student feels safe and supported. This means addressing issues like bullying, discrimination, and mental health to create a nurturing environment for our students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Together, let’s make school safety a top priority and create secure learning spaces where every student feels safe, parents have peace of mind, and our dedicated educators are supported.

Promote community engagement

Community engagement is key to building thriving schools that meet the diverse needs of our students and contribute to the overall growth and well-being of our city. As Community Learning Centers (CLCs) Akron schools can benefit everyone, including community members without children in the district. In an era characterized by people feeling disconnected from one another, school buildings can offer a lifeline by providing access to educational resources, fostering social connections, offering adult education and vocational training opportunities, and serving as a space for community gatherings and events. When neighbors, parents, and community members are actively engaged with our schools, we create a stronger foundation for success.
