| Why would
you like to be elected? |
| I would like to be elected because I believe that someone who knows about educating students and working with teachers can ask the right questions and provide the right guidance to keep the Elyria City Schools focused on the core business of providing an education for all students. |
| What

| I would like to close the educational gap between those students who have a lower socio-economic background and those students who have the economic supports at home. If Elyria is to thrive as community every child needs to be successful at school. |

| I have presented at local, state and national conferences in the areas of technology, leadership and learning over the past ten or more years. I am also endorsed by the Elyria Education Association for this office. |
