What are the three main reasons you are running for this office? Do you see any potential conflicts of interest?

I served on the Willis ISD Board of Trustees for 21 years. I think that gives me experience on this board which is very sililiar. I am also an educator. 

Please describe the changes to existing programs and/or functions you are committed to make and give your rationale.

I am not going into this thinking about changes although I know there will be changes made. 

What role do our founding documents play in our education system?

Our founding documents are the base line to what it is to be an American. We should always refer back to these documents. 

Please discuss your views on LSCS funding sources and the proportion of funds that should come from each source(State Legislature; raise local property taxes; raise tuition;  offer free tuition;  pass more bond;  repeal open-admissions and increase minimum academic requirements;  cap enrollment;  worry about it down the road)?

Although I have read the current budget book, and I am life long learner, I am not going to answer these questions until I am elected to this office because I need to know more.  But I do not believe in a free ride. 

Please describe the pros and cons of full-tenured staff versus part-time teachers and your plans, if any, for making changes in that area.

I believe that people who are performing the best should be rewarded financially. It's not necessarily who has been doing it the longest that makes you the best. 

Would you pledge to vote against any attempt to authorize any LSC employee salary that would be more than 50% above that of the Texas Governors salary?

I don't know what the governors salary is. I Couid find out easy enough. But that's apples to oranges. I don't see how the two correlate. I would rather compare equitable positions at equitable colleges. 

Lone Star College passed a $471 million Bond package(tax-supported) in late 2014.  How long will this sustain the college, before the board comes back to the voters for more?  http://bit.ly/2baVFGO

I don't know at this point. I'm not on the board. 

Is the current debt load for LSCS too high? Please describe how you will determine the proper debt load.

My understanding is it's not. Again I will know more once elected. 

Please explain why you do or do not support requiring a 2/3 majority for bond issues to pass.

I believe in our voter process. Therefore I do not. 

What's your opinion on campus carry for teachers and for students?

I am definitely a second amendment advocate. I own a Christian school in Conroe-Lake Conroe Christian Academy-with my daughter and we have a gun on campus. I know this is controversial but we also have to protect ourselves. 

What is your position on free-speech zones, speech codes, safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions, and religious speech on campus?

I am NOT in favor of the WOKE society. I believe and do speak about mt faith wherever I am and believe others can too. If we don't take back this nation we will continue to go in a bad direction. 

Do you agree/disagree with MCTP Core Values?  Please explain.

Yes I do. I am a Christian first. I am a family member second.  I am a Republican. 

Would you, individually, take public, overt steps to have pornography removed from LSC classrooms. libraries and campuses?

I am 100% against pornography in the classrooms, libraries and campuses of LSC and all schools just as I was as a Willis ISD board member. But as a board member I have to act as a trustee and group of 9 to the position I'm elected. I can't act as an individual but I can certainly as an individual say how I feel. 

What is your position on Common Core in our K-12, as well as higher education systems?

I am 100% against it. We never had this at Willis ISD and made sure if it as a board. And I'm also against Critical Race theory. 

Please describe the pros and cons of full-tenured staff versus part-time teachers and your plans, if any, for making changes in that area.

At this time I see this at micromanage. I don't think this a roll of the board. 

Please describe the opportunities you will
pursue to improve quality of instruction while reducing costs.

Again. This is not the role of the board. I will pray the chancellor brings us good instruction, good curriculum and reduced prices. If not I will ask questions. 

Is there anything in your background of an embarrassing nature that should be explained before your election? Arrests/Convictions? Bankruptcys?

No.

Please describe what measures you propose to improve transparency and accountability to the public.

All meetings are public. Everything is documented. If I get into this and see things to be different I will raise questions. 

Lone Star College could arguably be described as a "trade school".  Do you think it should maintain that path, or provide more entrepreneural programs?  Please provide rationale for your answer.

Yes. I am proud it is also a trade school  My husband and I worked hard to get the new state of the art CTE building in Willis. My husband and I are entrepreneurs so yes, we believe in this! 

What role do Judeo-Christian ethics play overall in our education system?

Not enough unfortunately but as I've always told my teachers when I was a public school principal-when you close your door and pray, you and the kids and God know. Now I own a Christian school. We teach Jesus first then curriculum.
