Listening first. Because everyone in our community should be heard.
I’m running for the ISD 279 School Board because a board shouldn't just talk to parents and teachers, it needs to listen to them. I want this campaign to serve as a practical school board voter guide for families in Osseo, making clear that every decision should center the needs of our scholars and the professional expertise of our educators. Drawing on my experience on the District Planning & Advisory Council (DPAC), I'm ready to turn what I hear from the community into real results in our classrooms.
- Stacey
I’ve spent my time listening to neighbors, educators, and my fellow members on the District Planning & Advisory Council (DPAC). Here is what our community says matters most for Osseo schools.
Prepare Scholars for the Future
Our scholars deserve to be prepared for their own future. That means providing a balanced education that masters the basics while giving them the confidence to navigate new technologies. I want to ensure every scholar graduates feeling ready for the real world because our community gave them the right foundation.
Here is what I am hearing – your school board voter guide priorities.

Support Educators
Our educators are the heart of this district, and they deserve a voice in the decisions that impact their classrooms. When we support our educators with the resources they need and the respect they’ve earned, we create a district where the best talent wants to stay.

Safe and Welcoming Environment
Safety is non-negotiable and belonging is our goal. A school should be a place where every scholar feels secure and valued for exactly who they are. When our classrooms reflect the warmth and diversity of our community, our scholars can focus on what matters most: learning.
