"I don't just care about our schools; I care about every person in them."
I understand the challenges our children are facing when they enter the job market today. I sit on a board that provides workforce re-training for those seeking meaningful employment right here in Las Vegas.
I also understand the frustrations of parents and educators in their fight to ensure that the needs of all our children are met; I have been an ally and an advocate, helping to communicate their frustrations at the school, state, and federal level and enact meaningful change for over 20 years.
Our Children Can Thrive
Today, thousands of people all over Clark County will wake up with the intent of sending their children to our public schools with the hope that they will be seen.
But every day there are more and more barriers to this happening.
Every child in the Clark County School District should have the same access to a high-quality public education – no matter where they live, the color of their skin, or how much their parents make.
We can put the needs of our parents and students before those of individual school board trustees.
We can show our Nevada public-school teachers, paraprofessionals, and school staff that we respect them for the professionals they are.
We can go from surviving to thriving.
