Simon sends campaign information to the Star Telegram

Why is Simon a candidate?

I passionately advocate for students and their basic need to feel secure in their community and school. I am comfortable asking tough questions and having difficult conversations to create win-win solutions!  I have led and volunteered in many different capacities in the Keller schools for over 15 years. I want to continue supporting my community, and I will work hard to ensure all KISD students receive the same amazing opportunities my three children have received through KISD. I will listen, advocate, organize and communicate to unite the community in support of all students.

Simon answers campaign platform issues and plans in 100 words or less

 

What are the three most critical issues facing the public office you are seeking and the solutions you propose to address them?

 

1.    Adequate and sustained public school funds

As a member of the Board, I will work closely with the Superintendent to maintain adequate funding by ensuring KISD offers an exceptional product, a superior education system.

 

2.    One size fits all

Each student is an individual with their own strengths, weaknesses, goals, and dreams.  To be a superior education system, individualized education plans created by students and parents in partnership with schools will measure student growth and goal achievement.

 

3.    Community inclusion

Embracing and integrating diversity into our educational process will prepare all students for success in a culturally diverse world. 

 

         In 100 words or less, what is your top priority if elected to office?

My top priority is ensuring every single child is successful using all of the resources available in the community. I believe there are many untapped people in various positions within our community who can provide expertise to the school district.  It is imperative that we engage experts in our school district. Also, I will look to other school districts for best practices or solutions implemented to provide a roadmap on addressing issues we face. I feel there are no-cost or low cost solutions that will address my three critical issues (appropriate funding, individualized education, and diversity in KISD).

Embracing and integrating diversity into our educational process will prepare all students for success in a culturally diverse world.
