OPINION — Experience matters when making decisions that shape the future of our schools. But not all experience is the same.
I'm a mother of six children, all educated in Scottsdale Unified School District. For nearly two decades, I've served as a parent, volunteer, advocate, and now elected governing board member. I know what makes our schools special and where we must improve.
Four years on the board have reinforced my belief that leadership means more than approving recommendations. It requires listening to families and employees, scrutinizing financial decisions, asking difficult questions, and standing firm when I believe another course is needed.
