Fostering Youth Success through Community Partnerships

With a commitment to youth development, Candace will prioritize programs that connect schools with community resources. She will work with local partners to offer mentorship opportunities, expand extracurricular activities, and provide essential support systems, ensuring every student feels connected, included, and inspired.

As a trustee, she will take an active role in setting goals that align with the annual budget, ensuring resources are allocated to benefit students and teachers district-wide. Candace envisions a district where teachers are empowered, classrooms are equipped for success, and every student is supported in reaching their goals.
