Why I am Running / Issues:

Mike is running for Board of Education to first off support our Teachers and our Students.  He wants to improve our education system and help it become one of the finest in our State.  Mike wants to eliminate the idea of Critical Race Theory within our Schools and concentrate on Academics.  Mike would also like to eliminate some Administrative positions to free up some funds for more Teachers & Para-Professionals.  Lastly, the students’ parents and guardians should have a huge say in what their children are being taught and/or mandated within our educational system; let parents be parents and educators be educators.
