Utica is moving in the right direction but we need to make improvements within our district in order to retain and attract young families, and that starts with a School Board that is accessible and responsive to the concerns of teachers, parents and students. I’m grateful for our school district as it helped shape me into the person I am today, and I believe serving on the school board would be a great opportunity for me to give back to our community.
