As the mother of a PSD student, I want to help ensure the teachers and school staff have the resources they need and the policies in place to provide excellent educational opportunities in the manner that is equitable and values and respects each and every student.
With your vote, I can help ensure we are keeping our children at the forefront of all decisions and providing them with the best education possible.
