What’s on my mind??
Well, how about a transformative $5,081,900.00 being invested directly into our community and our youth!!

Yes that’s right. That amount of money is directly funding expansion and renovations RCB High School, City of Clarksburg, WV.
Last night the Harrison County School District’s Board of Education accepted a bid to expand the RCB cafeteria, upgrade systems, and a begin planning next steps for a NEW, aviation sheet metal shop to accommodate a CTE program.
Again, these are pathways that can offer students skills that will get them, not just a good paying job after graduation, but a solid career allowing them to remain here in Harrison County, WV

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it My focus is, and always will be in the best interests of the students and staff of our schools.

Lets keep working hard and showing up to provide the best possible future for the kids and our communities

Another great project for the athletic youth in our county. I look forward to this process to see what Lincoln High School can do for their fundraising.

Tonight, the Board heard a presentation about a fundraising campaign for turf and track replacement at 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹'𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.

Principal David Decker requested permission to kick off a campaign to replace the field turf and resurface the track. The next steps would include gathering detailed quotes and returning to the Board with a budget plan and funding request as needed.

I got an interesting question this week. I was talking with someone, and they asked me “Why do you want to continue to serve”, not the general, why are you running To me the question was more about the value in serving others. Not an agenda of action items to be accomplished.

That was a great question.

I didn’t get involved in the BOE for politics. This is a non partisan position. It should be an apolotical job, leaving the politics at the curb, to accomplish and create opportunities and outcomes all children

I got involved because I believe deeply in kids—and in the power of a strong public school system.
Public education is an equalize. It affords ALL kids the chance to learn and grow.

Over the years, I’ve sat in long meetings, had tough conversations, and made hard decisions. Let me tell you not all of them were popular—but they were made with students in mind.

I’ve seen firsthand how the right support can change a student’s path. How strong special education services matter. How safe schools matter. How FEEDING kids MATTERS. How thoughtful leadership matters.

That’s why I keep showing up. Because our kids deserve adults who take this responsibility seriously.

My promise and commitment is this. I’ll keep keep listening, I’lll keep showing up, and I’ll keep fighting for every student’s future.
