 What steps do you believe should be taken to ensure all students are taught African American history as required by state law and recommended by the district’s African American Task Force?

A review of the county history curriculum is needed by a tiger team of history specialist that will provide recommended changes that will ensure that the guidelines are followed and that all minority history is properly represented.

What are the biggest challenges you think your school district will face in the next 3 years

What are the biggest challenges you think your school district will face in the next 3 years?  I believe that the biggest challenge to the School District of Manatee County is to make our schools safe from lone gunman attacks while still be an inviting environment to learn. The safety of our children, teachers and support staff is paramount and is what I would focus on as the number one priority. The next challenge that I think is a priority is teacher retention and teacher hiring to ensure that the teacher to student ratio is balanced while also ensure quality teachers are kept and hired.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 17, 1796

With recent conversations about curriculum, how will you ensure that students will receive a well-rounded education?

With recent conversations about curriculum, how will you ensure that students will receive a well-rounded education?  I will push for the creation of a tiger team of teachers and administrators to create a plan for improvements. This plan needs to be briefed to the superintendent and the school board in a working group while it is being developed, so corrections and concerns can be addressed during the developmental phase. The end product will have been properly reviewed by the school board during its creation to ensure that it represents the public concerns and desires. I would conduct analysis of this plan through the entire process and identify conscious subjects and bring these up for a vote by the board. I would then vote in a manner that was presented in my platform, which is as a conservative that values cost effective innovation with traditional value instilled to enhance the learning environment while creating students that value future learning opportunities.
