The Vision for Calvert County Public Schools

"I am serving as a school board member in order to help see to it that the right policy decisions are made by the board which will enable us to continue to keep and improve the high quality of education that exists today. We must be certain that everything we do has a direct focus on the education of our children and that our funds are directed and applied as close to the schools and our children, as possible."
