Priorities

Where Jean stands

Clear positions, grounded in years of service — and in a belief that good government starts with doing what you said you'd do.

Priority 01

Trust Built on Fidelity

Trust isn't a slogan — it's what's left after you do what you said you would do. I'll keep saying what's true out loud, even when it doesn't serve me.

Hold our processes to fidelity: decisions made the way we said they'd be made, in the open.
Name fear-driven decision-making when it shows up — at the board table and in the community it ripples into.
Give families a clear line of sight into how and why decisions get made, so trust is rebuilt on facts, not rumor.

Priority 02

Equity as Financial Stewardship

Equity and fiscal responsibility are the same conversation. You don't cut evenly from areas that are already fractured and call it fair.

Treat equity as stewardship of public dollars: invest where the gaps are largest, not where it's politically easiest.
Protect the highest-need programs from across-the-board cuts that fall hardest on students who can least absorb them.
Close persistent funding gaps — like the special-education shortfall — instead of spreading the shortfall around.

Priority 03

Disability & Special Education

Disability is the largest minority group, and it intersects every other. When you plan for accommodation from the start, no one gets left out later.

Build accommodation into every decision from the first planning stage — never as an afterthought.
Treat special education as a core obligation, addressing vacancy, turnover, and the state-funding gap head-on.
Advocate for students and families who can't always advocate for themselves.

Priority 04

Strong Public Schools

Real growth is built from the bottom up. When we support the people who need it most — students and the educators who serve them — the whole district gets stronger.

Invest in educators: competitive pay, real support, and the staffing that keeps good people in our classrooms.
Steward facilities and budgets so resources reach classrooms, not overhead.
Defend strong, well-funded neighborhood public schools as the foundation of our community.
