MISSION & VISION
Empowering Our Community
I believe that it is imperative that we develop policies around school accountability for all schools, support successful charter schools, and provide necessary resources to those who are struggling.
I believe that every school must be strong and equipped with highly qualified,
certified school leaders and teachers. I believe we must also revisit what the term neighborhood schools means, and not use the term "community schools" so loosely. We need to establish neighborhood schools for neighborhood children, rather than busing students across the city.
