Equitable Opportunities:

Every student deserves the resources and support to thrive. That looks different for different students and different schools. Melissa will look to policies that reflect these values.

Accessible Communication:

The school board should be approachable and offer a clear pathway of communication between parents and board members. Melissa will work to create this network.

The Parent Perspective:

Policy decisions look different when you’re the one packing lunches, sitting through parent-teacher conferences and helping with homework. Melissa will bring that daily reality to the school board.

Community Partnership:

Teachers, staff, neighbors and families all have a stake in our schools. Melissa will invite conversation that promotes collaboration.
