🎙My Candidate Interview Is Live
I would love to hear your thoughts and input!
As a passionate advocate for our schools and a candidate for the Pembroke School Committee, I recently had the opportunity to share my vision and priorities for the future of Pembroke's education with The Local Seen Government Services
Here are some highlights!
Budget Priorities and Constraints:
I firmly believe that budget discussions should begin with the insights of our school building principals. Their direct experience with the needs of our students and teachers is invaluable.
I am dedicated to finding creative solutions for funding gaps and prioritize the wellness and safety of our students and staff in all budget decisions.
Impact of Decreasing Enrollment:
Even as we face declining enrollment, it's crucial to recognize the significant increase in per-pupil funding rates. This underscores the continuous need for increased funding, particularly to support the growing mental health needs of our students.
Vocational Schooling and Local Revenue:
I propose innovative ideas, such as kayak and canoe rentals and food truck internships, to enhance vocational training opportunities. It's important to me that we seek community feedback on these initiatives.
Special Education:
With my strong background in special education, I understand the importance of individualized education plans based on comprehensive evaluations. I acknowledge the increasing demand for special education services and am committed to meeting these needs.
General Philosophy on Education and Community Involvement:
I am a proponent of data-informed decision-making and actively seek community input to ensure our educational priorities meet the evolving needs of our students.
My dedication to our community, innovative approach to addressing challenges, and commitment to putting students first make me a strong candidate for the Pembroke School Committee. I believe in supporting a future where every child in Pembroke has the opportunity to thrive.
I encourage you to make your voice heard in the upcoming elections. Together, we can make a difference for the future of our children and our community.

"I think the most important role for the grad student association is to be a community for its members. Graduate school can be very isolating, the HGSA provides ways of meeting other graduate students. We host social events to allow our members to meet and talk."

From mentoring to monitoring to joining in, there is much faculty can do to foster constructive outcomes and help young people confront the injustices of the world they are inheriting.
Who is best suited to understand what students are experiencing in a community and work to reflect their needs in school district's budget, policy and practice? The answer is simple - student board member. I so appreciate what National Student Board Member Association does to build capacity and readiness in the continuing and newly appointed/elected student board members!
Partner spotlight 🌟 National Student Board Member Association (NSBMA)
To forge a more equal and connected society, we need to reimagine systems shaping our daily lives around the human need to belong. To belong is to feel safe, be seen, and have your voice matter—young people and students are not an exception.
NSBMA works to connect, support, and educate student school board members and other stakeholders to ensure meaningful representation of student voice so that the education system prepares all students to thrive.
In our new video, hear from former student board members about their experiences, the value of the NSBMA, and the impact of student representation on education governance 🎥👇

Education is needed to encourage students to dream of an integration society with well-being with everyone's participation and creativity.

Looking forward to more exchange and dialogue in the next sessions!
