LaToya On the Issues

I will work tirelessly to provide all students with access to high-quality educational resources and opportunities that will enable them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. By prioritizing personalized learning and extracurricular activities, we can ensure our students are well-prepared for success in the future.

Collaboration is key to building a successful educational community. I am dedicated to promoting open lines of communication between parents, teachers, students, and the Board of Education. Together, we can address concerns, celebrate achievements, and create a shared vision for our schools’ growth and improvement.​

Our teachers are the backbone of our educational system. I am committed to supporting our educators by advocating for fair compensation, professional development opportunities, and resources that empower them to deliver the highest standard of education. By fostering an environment that values and invests in our teachers, we can attract and retain the best educators for our schools.​
