My Mission

I am committed to policies that provide equity and a high-quality education for all. Equity is the fight needed to save our children, their teachers and schools. Without equal and fully funded public schools for all; all education research is skewed.

A Foot Soldier for Equity

I am committed to fighting for equity and a high-quality education for all. Children's learning conditions are teachers working conditions. We are in this together. Ed Reform that continues a hundred plus years of inequity is wrong. A public school system that spends 23 billion dollars annually more on our predominantly white wealthy schools than on our poor schools in communities of color; is not only the wrong way, it's immoral.

Contact Me — How can I help?

Let's talk about how to advocate for fully funding all our public schools. Admit: Assessment without equity is child abuse. What if we begin a bottom up education movement? A movement that refuses to give policymakers, legislators, and CEOs cover for a public school system rooted in vast inequalities. What if we insisted on equality for all children regardless of their skin color at the local level. Contact me for public speaking engagements.

Find me.

I refuse to be driven by endless cycles of Ed Reforms without equity. I follow the child not the test score.
