Data-informed decision-making that puts students and educators at the center.

Families are essential partners in student success. I am committed to building strong, transparent relationships between the district and the community.
I will work to:

Ensure district decisions, policies, and budgeting are clear and accessible.
Listen intentionally to the voices of families across every neighborhood.

Every child deserves a school where they feel safe, valued, and supported.
I will champion policies that prioritize student well-being and inclusive school cultures.

Clean, well-maintained, and secure school facilities.
Welcoming environments where all students—regardless of race, ability, language, or identity—belong.
4. Supporting Our Educators
Durham’s teachers are the backbone of our schools. With years of classroom and educator-advocacy experience, I understand what it takes to help educators thrive.
I will work to:

Reduce unnecessary administrative burdens so teachers can focus on teaching.
Ensure educator voice is central to district decision-making
