If yes, please explain: NoCandidate's Key Issues Key Issue 1 First and foremost I#146;d like to ensure the district maintains the level of programming and standards they#146;ve been known for. In the current economic climate, I realize this might be difficult but I think the curriculum and programs offered to our students should paramount above other budgetary allocations. This includes programming for professional training, such as the Building Trades program.Key Issue 2 I#146;d also like promote the development of an environmental responsibility plan for the district. Making choices that both protect our environment and save the district money in the long run is a priority.Key Issue 3 Lastly, with overcrowding still effecting many of our schools I#146;d like to encourage responsible decision-making in regards to any future remodeling or expansion ideas. Sometimes immediate budget friendly option is not the best option for the community, or the future. Thus I#146;d like to make sure we take into account the community needs, and in reflection the student needs before we value-engineer any projects.
