WHY PAUL IS RUNNING
No one stands up for us parents. We work hard to protect our kids just to have them subjected to silliness at school.
Many people feel as though their voice as hard-working, tax-paying, law- abiding citizens is being ignored by the Board of Education. We pay too much in taxes and unfortunately, our schools are slipping.

ACCOUNTABILITY
As a finance and accounting professional for more than 30 years, I will use my expertise to ensure that budgets are aligned with BOE policies and local needs and values.
My work with federal audits, forensic accounting, ledger accounting and the like, combined with a Masters degree in Business Administration will help to ensure that resources are properly committed to various BOE stakeholders and priorities and ensure that we keep our need for tax dollars as low as possible.
