Over my short time on the school board that started in July 2018, I have always focused on being active in our schools and our students’ activities, listening and learning from our students, families, teachers, staff and community.  Making sure I am supporting our students by using data from many sources to help drive decisions and ensuring equitable outcomes all while making sure I understander the impacts of those decisions.

I have been in many leadership roles on my time on the board. Including many resolutions and policies to protect and support of our students, teachers, staff, families and community.

Over 37 Resolutions – Resolutions can be found on the OCS website here (Starting July 2018).

Polices in support of our students, staff, and families: Equity in Education, School board Members Code of Ethics, Board member Conflict of Interest policy, code of conduct (focusing on restorative practices and consistency), Ombuds (supporting staff with confidentiality), Gender support guide lines, and many other updates protecting our students, teacher, staff and families.
