There is no doubt that opportunity exists in Richmond Public Schools, but a lot of work needs to be done to guarantee that promise to every family in our city from kindergarten through graduation.
As a father, I know we must have safe, dynamic schools and classrooms so our kids can learn and thrive.
As an attorney, I understand the school system has to be accountable and fiscally responsible so that our tax dollars are spent where they will be most effective: in the classroom, not at Central Office.
As a 1st District homeowner, I know the opportunities and strength of a phenomenal school like Mary Munford. We need to ensure that Albert Hill Middle and Thomas Jefferson High are also viable and attractive options for all children.
For our children to remain competitive in a changing world, we have to be prepared to examine every possible instructional option. Just because we haven't tried it before doesn't mean we shouldn't find a way to integrate successful programs into what is already working in our schools. We have to foster and support school choice opportunities so all families have options that are the right fit for their kids.Glen's Background
