Michelle's Values: Equity | Accountability | Collaboration

Equity

As a member of the Governing Board for National School District, I commit to listening to the voices of parents and children and incorporate them into the fundamental decisions that impact our schools. My faith and my vocation call me to be sure that students of all backgrounds are given access to high quality education, especially for those who have so much that stands in their way.

Accountability

Accountability and transparency MUST be at the core of every interaction the Governing Board takes. Decisions that the Governing Board makes at the district level affect every student and employee. This applies to finances, curriculum choices, hiring practices, and all areas of district decisions. The Governing Board works for the community to support and hold accountable the Superintendent and district to the highest standards of education and integrity. I will hold myself to those same high standards.

Collaboration

A school district only runs well when all of the major players are on the same team, working together. Parents, teachers, staff, and administrators must do the hard work of listening to one another and working together for the best outcomes for our students. I will work with all parties, leaving no group unheard. I will call for respect from all parties to one another, so that all voices are brought together to work for the success of our students.

Get Involved

I can't win this race without your help!

Spreading the word, social media likes and shares, word-of-mouth, and donating are all ways of helping us build stronger schools in National City together!
