As a parent of two children in the Cassville School District, I believe it’s my responsibility to keep in place the things that make the district successful and to help bring change where needed. Becoming a member of the board, I feel, is the best way to make these things happen.

I was once told that if we want to make changes in our school district, we have to be the change. I can’t complain about how the school is being ran or if something happens that I don’t particularly like if I’m not willing to help make changes or incorporate new ideas.

My daughter is currently a Junior and my Mother is the High School Business teacher, so I have a lot of investment regarding the school district.
