As state superintendent of public instruction:
● I will work with the department and Wyoming educators to involve classroom educators in improving the allocation of our state resources and how, together, we can better serve the needs of our students.
● Together, we will encourage policy and procedure makers to volunteer in their local schools to better understand how financial decisions affect students and educators.
● We will create better financial transparency by having all districts publish their budgets on their district website. “Currently, only a few budgets are published, such as Natrona County School District budget and Laramie County School District budget.”
● We will work closely with legislators to ensure amendments are passed so that state funding is spent on what the funding was to be spent on in all districts.
As state superintendent of public instruction:
● I will work with the department to alert and support parents’ involvement with their children’s education through their child’s curriculum assessment, parent-teacher conferences, volunteering at their child’s school, or running for their local school board.
“Parents have and will always have a voice for their own children.”
● Regarding professional development, she pledges that “We will strive to have opportunities for continuing education to reflect feedback from our educators to better support their wants and needs.”s
As state superintendent of public instruction:
● I will champion the Wyoming Constitution so that it will not be run over.
● The Wyoming Constitution Article 7 clearly defines public education and the role of the state superintendent.
“Just because someone wants their child to have a certain ideology doesn’t give them the right to say what my child’s ideology should be!”
As state superintendent of public instruction
● I will work tirelessly with my team and educators to reinvent how high schoolers earn their credits for graduation.
● Some students are university-bound, some are community college certificate-bound, and many are trade school-bound.
● I will increase working with Wyoming stakeholders, including parents and business owners.
● Not every student should go to college, and the drive for educators, guidance counselors, and administrators to push a 4-year degree with the financial burden attached to it, needs to be re-examined.
● Going into a trade should no longer be shameful.
“Our skilled labor force is our essential workers!”
