Kelly’s Priorities

• Improving Math & Literacy Outcomes
  Ensuring all students have the resources they need to achieve grade level in math and literacy through data-driven curriculum, phonics-based literacy instruction, and real-time assessments.
  

• Expanding Special Education Resources
  Advocating for increased state funding to support students with disabilities, including raising the special education funding cap and fully funding high-cost disability programs.
  

• Student & School Safety
  Addressing critical issues like fentanyl awareness and overdose prevention while promoting a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.
  

• Transparency & Community Engagement
  Ensuring that parents, educators, and students have a voice in decision-making through listening sessions, open communication, and a strong partnership with the community. Our board must take more responsibility for district actions and create a reciprocal relationship between the community and administration.
  

• Responsible School Funding
  Focusing on financial stewardship to make sure funding is used effectively to support teachers, counselors, and student success programs—without unnecessary cuts.
