Since taking office on the New Prague school board in January 2025, I have committed to thorough preparation. I review the materials presented before each meeting so that I can ask the right questions and keep my campaign promise of transparency.
I do not come from an education background, so I have spent many additional hours learning the systems, terminology, and policies that shape our district. I am also data-driven, which has led me to look past surface-level presentations and try to make sense of the information available from the district’s many sources.
The research linked below is a compilation of what I have found so far. I am sharing it so that parents, staff, and community members can review the same information I have.
