FOCUS
STUDENTS. EDUCATORS. FAMILIES.
Our community is only as strong as our schools. In order to have exceptional schools, we must ensure that all students, teachers, staff, and administrators are included in and thought about when making decisions.
Below, find some areas of focus that I believe are important in our district.

Academic Excellence
Strengthening academics, expanding pathways and opportunities for every learner, and investing in the whole student - from Pre-K through graduation - so students are supported academically, socially, and emotionally and prepared for college, career, and life.

Modernizing Systems
Making schools work better for today’s families by improving transportation, thoughtfully evaluating school schedules and start times, and expanding before- and after-school opportunities that provide students with meaningful enrichment and families with greater flexibility.

School Wellness
Our district must include structures for educators and students to engage in wellness practices. We need to be committed to providing our teachers with the resources they need to thrive. Our students will be supported when our teachers can bring their best selves to work.

Post Graduation Success
For students college-bound, we want to ensure that they are academically prepared and competitive for their next steps. For students headed to the workforce, we want to ensure that they bring with them skills that will equip them to define their success as productive members of the community.

Execptional Facilities
Investing in our schools by completing current construction and renovation projects, addressing the needs of aging facilities, and developing a responsible long-term plan that prioritizes safety, accessibility, sustainability, and the evolving needs of students, staff, and our community.

Early Childhood Education
It is proven that students who receive early education become stronger academically. We need to guarantee that all North Kingstown students get an opportunity for quality, affordable, and convenient pre-k education.
