Education

Inclusivity in decision-making processes is essential for a truly representative school district. I am committed to enhancing opportunities and recognition in public meetings to ensure every voice is heard, particularly those of parents with special needs students. Additionally, I aim to ensure that every school in the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) has a fully functional Parent Teacher Association (PTA/PTSA) and School Advisory Council (SAC).

I firmly believe in the power of transparency and accountability. Our school board members should be accountable to our community, which is why I support making annual visits and actively engaging with stakeholders at all schools in the district. This will ensure that our leaders are not only visible but also responsive to the needs and concerns of our students, parents, and educators. I advocate for the school district to provide increased training opportunities for parents and the community. Understanding how schools are funded is crucial for meaningful participation in budget decisions. By demystifying the funding processes from state, federal, and philanthropic sources, we can empower our community to take an active role in shaping our schools' financial priorities. Learn more
