• I have experience working as a team member to see the BIG PICTURE, develop a LONG-TERM VISION, and set FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE GOALS.

• For decades I’ve sought ways to contribute to improving opportunities for each of our students to achieve their full potential.

• During those years I’ve worked as a parent, teacher, counselor, consultant, volunteer mentor, grandparent, and even as a Board member.

• I have taught students who competed and won awards at District, State, and National levels in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.

• I have written curriculum materials that were published through the Texas Education Agency and distributed statewide to CTE teachers.

• During the recent bond election, I was reminded of my generation’s deep interest in and desire to support our schools and the people in them.

• Therefore, I want to listen to anyone of any generation who has questions or comments about our school. I want to understand their point of view about needs, concerns, and issues. I want to do the work to find and apply the best possible responses to those needs, concerns, and issues.

• Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of my candidacy as a seasoned senior citizen for Woodville ISD Board of Trustees.
