What support would you pursue to improve Stamford Public Schools’ distance-learning solutions? What technology needs do you see as a priority?

Google Classroom has become vital for our Teachers, Students, and Parents. I believe the district will be using that platform permanently in all of our schools moving forward. Therefore, now is the time to offer as much training/instruction as possible for using Google Classroom as well as aggressively collecting feedback from all parties to improve the overall experience.

What do you think is the best approach to facing our schools’ physical infrastructure challenges? (i.e., HVAC/mold, electrical)

Administration and Board of Education members walking each building on a regular basis. When you are physically there in the buildings, you will clearly see the challenges before us.

How do you prioritize where to make any budget reapportionment? (e.g., technology, infrastructure, special services for students, number of teachers per student)

To me, Priority number one would be to ensure we have safe buildings for our Students and Staff to be in every day.

Please explain one specific issue facing Stamford Public Schools where you feel you can have the most meaningful impact (or where you would like to change direction and why).

Having eight years of Commercial Real Estate experience, I feel that the most meaningful impact I can bring to the city is improving the Board of Education's focus on our buildings and how we may better maintain them.
