BIOGRAPHY:
As a lawyer, I know the MARYLAND EDUCATION ARTICLE. I am a computer consultant
experienced in network systems and I have taught at Anne Arundel Community
College. I was an Air Force flight instructor and I flew combat in Southeast
Asia. My children graduated from Howard County Public Schools.
A1:
Adhere to state requirements, improve partnerships with the county government
and all communities. Open communication with, and honestly disclose issues
important to, the communities. Create a safe and healthy school environment
that provides each child with the foundation and opportunity to reach his/her
potential as a human being.
A2:
Partner closely with Montgomery County and others who have integrated green
practices into their operations and construction programs. Work with the
Department of Public Works which has already built green buildings. Require
LEED certification. Schools represent abundant opportunities for studying how
to build a sustainable living environment.
A3:
Excellent teachers are our most valuable resource so financial incentives should
be used to match our best teachers with schools and students identified as low
performing. Low performing students should also receive extra educational
resources such as parental involvement in crafting solutions, community
involvement, and after hours access to computers.
