GARFIELD'S POLICIES
Families, educators, and taxpayers deserve clear, honest communication. I will champion transparency in financial decision-making and ensure the community stays informed and involved in how resources are prioritized.
Facilities like the Patriot Campus Middle School are not optional—they are essential. I will push for smart, future-focused infrastructure investment, even during tight budget years, so our schools can meet the needs of a growing community.
We must ensure every dollar supports student achievement. I will advocate for auditing non-essential expenditures and redirecting funds toward the classroom—not administrative overhead or programs that don’t directly improve student outcomes.
We must prepare for tomorrow, not just react to today. I will work to implement a long-term capital improvement plan that aligns with enrollment growth, demographic changes, and educational needs—ensuring District 49 remains ahead of the curve.
