I believe I am the best candidate for this position because I have lived in Mora since 1996; I have 5 children that have graduated from Mora High School and have 2 more children that will graduate in the next 9 years; I have worked in the District Office of 2 school districts, and I have a good understanding of what the issues are in the Mora School District.
#1 Mental health awareness. Our children are not being protected from the things of this world that are harmful to their mental health. #2 Making changes to our Administration. The District Office at Mora High School has experienced high turnover the past 2 years. As a Human Resources Director, it's my job to evaluate the causes of high turnover and make necessary changes in order to retain valuable employees. #3 Challenging the laws of the State of MN that are causing damage to our children.
My strategy would be to decrease the salaries of the highest paid employees in the District.
I would like to teach our children how to be kind to everyone regardless of how they look and how to help others that have less than they do.
I love to brainstorm and will invite teachers and families to meet with me to discuss topics that are important to them.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
