As the Superintendent of Schools, I add value by:
- Working directly with the Board of Education to set the direction for PAUSD through creating policy, identifying priority areas, and allocating resources.
- Maintaining focus on high-leverage actions to support identified priority areas such as serving and celebrating others, mental health and wellness, equity and excellence, early literacy, and innovation.
- Creating, promoting, and evolving a culture of inclusion, optimism, and success for all.
