I’m running again for 2 reasons: 1) I'm leading reform the School Board’s financial oversight. School finance is complex and robust oversight requires more than the forum of a committee. This work will take time to complete, I believe I understand what needs to be done, and I’d like to see meaningful reform through. 2) This is shaping up to be a year of disruption, where the systems we rely on to support our neediest students may be ripped up root and branch, while other students feel devalued, threatened and even fearful. It breaks my heart that the work we’ve done to help make all students feel safe and supported is threatened. I’ve had experience helping the district get through many challenges, and I believe my experience will be essential in the coming years

2025 Monona Grove School Board Election

Sunday, January 26, 2025

Accomplishments 1)

 In 2006, the year before I was on the board, MG spent $326 per student on utilities, and as I noted during my campaign MG was in the top 10% of schools for utility expenditure.

In 2023 we spent $284 per student, a 13% drop. During the same time the median school district in Wisconsin saw an increase from $230 to $285 per student, a 24% increase! The difference between these numbers indicates a savings exceeding $300,000 a year from our operational budget.

I didn't do any of that by myself, I had help and lots of it Most importantly by in from the board and the administration that we could make a difference!
