Criminal Justice / Public Safety The safety of our students and staff is essential. I will prioritize school safety by supporting comprehensive safety measures, including emergency preparedness, infrastructure improvements, and mental health support. Taxes / Budget I want to help ensure responsible financial management so that resources are allocated to benefit our students and teachers. With less money coming from the State, we will likely need to navigate rough waters. I will work with the Board and District staff to do what's best for our Allen students. Social Services I want to ensure that we continue supporting mental health programs, counseling services, and initiatives that help support our students and teachers. Education Teacher Retention and Recruitment - It’s difficult having a first-class school district without a first-class staff. We must continue to find ways to retain and recruit first-class teachers. We can help do this through compensation, recruitment, positive teaching environments, and quality professional development. We will need to be creative. All other school districts are looking for teachers as well.
