Get StartedThe Eanes safety and operations team is always thinking about best practices and keeping us on the forefront of security technology. Smart protocols and drills are routinely reviewed and practiced by our security teams, staff, and students, which is an essential element to keeping students and staff safe. We must remain diligent day in and day out to protect our students and our staff while continuously challenging ourselves to improve. Learn more
My community service has taught me that bringing together a diversity of ideas and experiences is incredibly valuable - but also time consuming. I recognize that the role of Trustee requires that one dedicate time to not only attend meetings, but to study the issues thoroughly and continuously keep abreast of community sentiment and policy developments. I am eager to serve our community in this regard. Learn more
It is imperative that we gather broad stakeholder input so that we can smartly navigate the process of the long-term strategic master planning. We are fortunate to have many creative minds with varied expertise in our district to help us develop a vision for the future. It is exciting to ponder the possibilities that lie ahead. Learn more
We have a robust safety effort in Eanes thanks to the hard work and dedication of all of Eanes’ staff. Our ability to act quickly with past bond dollars meant that we were able to complete infrastructure projects last summer while many were still waiting for materials. Learn more
It is imperative that our schools and families have a mutual understanding of student needs, resources available, and policies in place. Learn more
My hope is that every student can learn to love reading and have access to books that inspire them to do so. Reading is vital for neurological development as well as opening up the world beyond our walls. For this reason, I believe that we must offer a broad selection of age appropriate materials in our school libraries. Of course, the challenge we face is that our community holds widely varying definitions of age appropriateness. I do not believe that LGBTQ+ or racial content alone defines a book as being age-inappropriate. Learn more
When a student is struggling, it is important for parents and staff to work together as a team but also listen to the student voice. We must continue to empower our youth and families with tools and knowledge that support mental wellbeing. Fostering resilience in our youth while they are in the Eanes system is a key factor to their future success. Learn more
We must create a culture where we demonstrate that the student voice is valued and ultimately has impact. Our DEI committee with its campus teams is a great resource to the district for assisting and advising in this ongoing work. Learn more
One of our primary goals must be for EVERY student - no matter their gender identity, sexual orientation, skin color, race, ethnicity, learning ability, or religion - to feel included and safe in our schools so that they are in a mindset to learn and succeed academically. It is also imperative that our staff members feel safe and respected so that they can best perform their jobs as educators. Strong evidence exists that connectedness and inclusion provides a long-lasting impact on promoting mental wellbeing. Learn more
Bonds are an important element of budgeting that in recent years have strategically aimed to move expenses from our Maintenance and Operations budget to capital budgeting, freeing up as much money as possible for staff raises within M&O. Learn more
Eanes has faced and continues to face both budgetary and strategic challenges as it strives to provide an excellent, rather than adequate, education. Teacher quality is widely recognized as the most important variable in a student’s education. As such, we must continue to advocate for policies that increase teacher salaries and positively impact teacher recruitment and retention. We must also continue to focus on making Eanes a place teachers WANT to work. Excellent teachers are the heart of providing an excellent education. Learn more
