HER EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY:

“The back-to-basics attitude. Teach what’s in the books. That’s

what I’m for. I wouldn’t want that to be changed.”

GETTING MORE PARENTS INVOLVED IN SCHOOL PTAS:

“Each community is different in its own right and each community

has its own way of rallying and getting the parents together, and I

think we need to look into what’s best for each of the schools.”

ON ACCOUNTABILITY:

“If we don’t test our kids, then how are we going to know who’s

accountable for what and what the strengths and weaknesses are in our

community. I think we’re just right in terms of testing.”

ON GETTING NEW VIEWS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD:

“How are we going to know what the new ideas are if we don’t let

someone in with a fresh perspective?”
