FOR YS BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS
Municipal Primary - May 20, 2025
“Having worked closely with many York Suburban students and families during my career—and as a parent of a future YS student—I am running for the York Suburban School Board to ensure that students have access to a healthy learning environment. I believe student success begins with healthy habits, self-discipline, and a strong work ethic. In an age where information is readily available at their fingertips, it is more important than ever to teach students how to distinguish fact from fiction.”
“I am running for the York Suburban School Board because I have seen firsthand the benefits of caring teachers, staff, and administrators, as well as the quality education they provided my daughter as a York Suburban student. A welcoming and challenging public school district prepares students to become critical thinkers and productive, compassionate members of society.
It is vital that our district has the support of the extended York Suburban community, working together as collaborators. Diversity of thought and people is a strength that fosters meaningful learning, and York Suburban is an ideal environment for these principles to thrive.”
“I am running for re-election to the York Suburban School Board because I believe a quality public education is essential for all students. YS must continue focusing on maintaining small class sizes, providing students access to extracurricular activities that require engagement in their education, hiring and retaining the highest quality teachers and staff, and advocating for reforms at the state level that increase revenue flow without the need for local tax increases.”
“Although my days of daily interactions with students are over, I know I can still help support York Suburban’s mission to Inspire a Bold Future. I’m fortunate to have taught long enough to see the positive impact that YSSD has had on our students after they graduate. I plan to advocate for students and support teachers and staff, while being sensitive to the current financial challenges. #ysproud”
