Anna's Priorities

Academic Achievement

Student achievement must remain the core mission of our district. Across Arizona and nationally, districts are still working to close learning gaps in literacy and math. We must ensure curriculum choices are evidence-based, aligned to standards, and focused on measurable academic growth, not distractions.
 

Reading proficiency by third grade is a key predictor of long-term success. Strong math foundations open doors to higher-level coursework and career readiness. We must support teachers with effective curriculum, clear expectations, and data that drives instruction.
 

Our focus must remain on Reading, Writing, Math, History, and Science, ensuring students graduate prepared for college, career, and life.

Put Dollars in the Classroom

School districts manage significant taxpayer resources. Every dollar must be spent responsibly and strategically.

Families expect funding to prioritize teachers, students, and classroom needs. Budget transparency, careful contract review, and responsible procurement practices ensure resources reach classrooms where they have the greatest impact.

Strong fiscal oversight protects both taxpayers and long-term district stability, especially in times of enrollment decline and funding uncertainty.

Transparency & Accountability

Trust is built through openness and professionalism.
 

Parents and community members deserve clear communication about curriculum, policies, and financial decisions. Board decisions should be transparent, well-documented, and accessible to the public.
 

Accountability also means setting measurable goals and evaluating progress. We must continually ask: Are our decisions improving student outcomes? Are we operating efficiently? Are we earning public trust?
 

Strong governance ensures integrity in decision-making and long-term success for the district.
