ISSUES

1. Supporting Teachers & Strengthening the Classroom

Teachers want the same thing parents and students want: order, stability, and the freedom to teach without constant disruption. Geoff believes the classroom works best when expectations are consistent and leadership has teachers’ backs. He supports restoring discipline, reducing unnecessary administrative burdens, and prioritizing instructional time. Geoff’s focus is simple: give teachers the tools, structure, and respect they need to help students succeed.

2. Strengthening Family Trust & Transparency

Parents deserve clarity, not confusion. Geoff will push for open communication, accessible curriculum information, and clear channels for family feedback. He believes every family should know what their child is learning, how the school is performing, and how to get help when problems arise. Trust grows when the system stops hiding information — and starts sharing it.

3. School Safety, Order, and a Focused Learning Environment

Students can’t learn if they don’t feel safe. Geoff supports strong, consistent discipline policies, better coordination with safety professionals, and resources that prevent crises before they happen. He believes in calm classrooms, secure buildings, clear behavioral expectations, and support systems that work. A safe school is a successful school — period.

4. Responsible Budgeting & Smarter Use of Resources

Academic performance must match the investment. Geoff brings decades of experience overseeing complex, high-stakes budgets, and he knows how to make dollars work harder. He will demand transparent reporting, independent audits when appropriate, and spending that delivers measurable results for students. Taxpayers deserve value, not vague promises.
