Royal Oak Schools

I believe that data is imperative for decision making. I think the more data that we can collect the better we are in terms of ensuring that our decisions support the needs of our staff, students and families. We should be surveying stakeholders often and we should listen and implement feedback received.

I am active in many groups and organizations throughout the Royal Oak community. I encourage conversations. I am very approachable and find great value in the thoughts of others. There are also Board Committees for curriculum, finance and facilities, health and welfare, sex education, communications and sustainability that community members can join. These advisory committees are crucial in the decision making of the Board of Education.

Our district has committees in these areas that are open for any caregiver or community member to join and provide their feedback. It is important for board members to be engaged within the community and meeting families and caregivers where they are at to ensure their voices are heard in all areas within the district.
