Welcome

Never before has our society expected more from our schools. We face serious challenges with the ongoing budgetary constraints and achieving adequate yearly progress on state assessments. As a parent of two children in the district and in my professional work evaluating education programs, I see these concerns. More importantly I see the strengths that the Northfield district brings to face them.

I am running for school board because I believe Northfield schools can succeed in providing quality education where all learners thrive. If elected, I hope to:

  • Encourage connections in the community that draw on Northfield's expertise in education at all levels
  • Capitalize on our teacher's knowledge and skills through the existing Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)
  • Look to assessment data as a tool to recognize successful strategies on which to build.

In the coming weeks, I hope to use this site as a way for you to learn more about me and how I could contribute to the school board.
