    Fiscal Responsibility.

    Schools should be well-funded, and funds must be used wisely. We will advocate for transparent budgeting, smart resource allocation, and responsible decision-making to ensure every dollar benefits students, teachers, and classrooms.

    Community Engagement.

    Strong schools rely on strong community involvement. We believe in open communication, collaboration between parents and educators, and creating opportunities for families and local businesses to support our schools.

Our Commitment to Nonpartisan Leadership

We believe that strong schools are the foundation of a thriving community. Our mission is simple: to support student-centered, transparent, and responsible leadership in the Lehighton Area School District - without political agendas.

Public education and school boards should prepare all students for success - not serve as a battleground for partisan debates. We are committed to ensuring that every decision made by our school board is based on what’s best for students, teachers, and families.

If elected, we pledge to:

  1. Prioritize Student Achievement – Every decision we support will be based on improving education, increasing opportunity, and ensuring academic excellence.

  2. Promote Fiscal Responsibility – We advocate for transparent and efficient use of taxpayer dollars, ensuring resources directly benefit students and teachers.

  3. Base Decisions on Data, Not Politics – We will support policies backed by research and student outcomes, not partisan opinions.

  4. Encourage Respectful & Collaborative Governance – We believe in civil discourse and working together to improve our schools—regardless of personal political beliefs.

Education impacts every family, every business, and every resident in our community. That’s why we stand for forward-thinking leadership that represents the voices of all Lehighton families without division. We invite parents, educators, business owners, and community members to join us in keeping politics out of the classroom and keeping the focus where it belongs - on our kids.

Strong Schools. Strong Community.

If elected, we will ensure that our schools are a source of pride, opportunity, and growth for every student and every family in Lehighton. We believe that strong schools build strong communities - they prepare students for success, attract families to our district, and strengthen the local economy.

We believe in trusting our educators with education the way we trust doctors with our health. Teachers and school staff are the experts in education, and we will support them with the resources, respect, and autonomy they need to help students thrive.

We will manage taxpayer dollars responsibly so that resources go where they are needed most - into the classrooms and student programs that make the biggest impact. We will engage the community in decision-making, fostering open communication, and ensuring that parents, educators, and residents all have a voice in shaping the future of our schools.

Together, we can build a stronger future for Lehighton. We ask for your support and your vote to make this vision a reality.

Strong Schools - Strong Community
