Stephanie’s platform is based on issues voters in District 6 care about, from the kitchen table to the cafeteria table:

Safety, Access, Investment, and Respect!

Ensure students’ rights to a safe and secure education are protected so that all students have a welcoming learning environment; school should not be a source of undue stress for students
Promote extracurricular programs and provide robust student support services to address their academic, social, and emotional needs
Help students maintain a healthy relationship with the use of technology and social media

Pilot innovative initiatives to save money and improve sustainability in local schools
Collaborate with the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association and similar missioned groups such as Orange Education Support Professionals to provide additional low-cost, high-impact benefits to educators such as low-cost/free childcare
Be accountable to families, not state mandated tests; ensure that feedback is transparent, relevant, and in language that all families can understand

Visit each District 6 school at least once per semester in order to understand the concerns and needs of each community
Continue partnerships between CTE schools and local businesses to develop our regional workforce; grow professional internship programs for students
Partner with business and our senior communities to provide volunteers who can read to, tutor, and mentor our students
Encourage the legislature to fully fund public education, return local control of our schools, and pass public education laws that make sense

From the classroom to school board meetings, build a districtwide culture of communication so that unique issues are solved consistently and in a timely manner
Allow teachers to focus on their professional development, lesson plan without interference, and build relationships with their students instead of worrying about evaluations and test scores
Increase teacher recognition in cost-effective ways

Let’s talk about what matters to District 6!
