June 18, 2021,
Hello all ISD196 citizens. As you all realize, there are many hot topics concerning our schools. I am already doing listening sessions, as I have discussions every day with many people in our community with concerns about our education system. If you want to have a discussion with me, reach out to me either thru this web site or my email on the ISD196 web site. I return all emails or will call if you leave your phone number. Every voice matters to me. I look forward to hearing from you. We all have the same goal, to educate all of our students to reach their full potential, and prepare them for the next phase of their life, be it college, working in the trades, military, or many other directions. 07/03/21 I will be talking to 2 classes at AVHS in the next couple of weeks to talk to students about options after high school. While college is a great option, it is not for everyone. I have many contacts with labor and have already set up graduates into apprenticeship programs to start their careers in the labor industry. I will also be explaining the options in the military, being a veteran myself. I want to thank SES teacher Hillary Wackman for giving me the audience to continue to help our students in this way. 07/15/21 Talks went great and many students have reached out already. I will be assisting these student get into different trade work. This is possible with my personal knowledge of many business agents in the industry. Feel free to always reach out with questions and concerns 07/30/2021 Filed my intent to run for re-election today. I also toured our newest building which is the new home of our ALC program. This building will work great. They were in the rosemount community center last year, which did work but was short term and caused much extra work for staff to secure belongs overnight, as we only rented space during the day. Now they have a school that has a better school environment. 08/20/2021 I am continuing daily discussions with concerned parents about current masking guidelines. I was in the district office today stating that we should have a special board meeting about this, as we have not been asked as a board to take any action. We will be meeting in the near future. Regardless of which side of this you are on, continue to reach out as all voices matter. I will answer all emails sent to me directly. 09/18/2021 I have put my re-election campaign on super drive. I have spoken to many of you lately, we have such a great place to live, and it is nice to see people face to face again. Many folks have also emailed or called me wanting yard signs, offering to door knock, or contribute any other way they can. You can see me at one of the football games every friday and get to know me, for those I have never met. The league of woman voters is hosting a zoom forum on the 29th that will be taped for you to view. Also look for articles in the sun this week and rosemount patch in the coming weeks. As always, reach out for questions or comments. I return 100% of these. 09/18/2021 School board update- We have started visiting schools on Fridays again. Great to see the energy. We are also having our first listening session next week on Tuesday at Black Hawk Middle School at 5:30. Contact the district office for more details. Early voting has started. Do your homework to make sure you are represented properly. 09/28/2021 Tomorrow night is the open forum hosted by the League of Women Voters. This will be taped and available for viewing the following day. Please view this to learn more about me and other candidates. Your vote definitely matters this year. Also come see me before the football game on October 1st at Eagan High School. They will be hosting District rival Eastview. I will be there by 6pm.
