FACILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE

I understand the profound importance of facilities and infrastructure in shaping a healthy, thriving educational environment. That's why I'm committed to state-of-the-art systems and robust infrastructure that foster safe, healthy, and engaging school environments. Above all, ensuring every building is fully compliant with fire codes before students and staff return for the school year is paramount. The safety of our school community is non-negotiable, and strict adherence to fire codes is the cornerstone of that safety. This commitment extends to integrating cutting-edge technology throughout our schools to enhance teaching and learning experiences.

This includes top-tier athletic fields and facilities that support our student-athletes in their pursuit of excellence. As someone with a construction background and experience in facilities management, I know firsthand how crucial it is to have well-designed and maintained HVAC systems that ensure indoor air quality and create comfortable learning and working environments.

In addition, I recognize the need for modern technology systems, such as comprehensive databases, advanced audio-visual equipment, interactive smart boards, and high-speed internet, to equip our students and teachers with the tools they need to thrive in the 21st century.

This is an investment in our students, teachers, and staff—the very foundation of educational success. I recognize that our facilities have fallen into disrepair over the years, but I'm proud of the significant strides we've made toward improvement. However, I know we must remain steadfast in our efforts and tirelessly advocate for the enhancements our campuses need to truly shine. By embracing technology, we can create more engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experiences that prepare our students for the future.

To bring this vision to life, I'll prioritize regular maintenance, proactive upgrades, and well-planned expansions that meet the changing needs of our students and staff, including our athletic facilities, HVAC systems, and state-of-the-art technology infrastructure. Quarterly fire safety inspections and swift implementation of any recommended upgrades will be non-negotiable to ensure our buildings remain code-compliant.

By investing in technology, we're not only enhancing the educational experience but also preparing our students for the technologically driven world beyond the classroom. By making facilities a priority, we are demonstrating our unwavering commitment to our students, teachers, and staff, as well as our student-athletes.
