Smart Spending, Open Books: A Better Future for Conway Schools
Ensuring that our schools are financially sound and that the community is fully informed about how funds are allocated is essential for building trust and delivering quality education. As a candidate for the Conway School Board, I am committed to promoting fiscal responsibility and enhancing transparency between the Board and the public.

Prudent Budgeting: The Conway Public Schools' budget outlines the district's financial plan, detailing revenue sources and expenditure allocations. It's crucial that these funds are managed wisely to maximize educational outcomes.
Regular Financial Reporting: The district provides monthly financial reports, offering insights into the financial health and operational efficiency of our schools. Regular review of these reports ensures that spending aligns with our educational priorities.

Accessible Financial Information: Key financial documents, such as the district's budget and monthly financial reports, are available to the public. Ensuring these documents are easily accessible and understandable empowers community members to stay informed.
Engagement Opportunities: Encouraging public participation in budget discussions and school board meetings fosters a collaborative environment where community voices are heard and considered in decision-making processes.
My Commitment:
Advocacy for Clear Communication: I will champion initiatives that simplify financial reports, making them more accessible to all stakeholders.
Promotion of Community Involvement: By facilitating forums and discussions, I aim to bridge the gap between the school board and the public, ensuring that decisions reflect the community's needs and values.
By focusing on these areas, we can build a school system that not only excels academically but also operates with integrity and openness, reinforcing the trust between our schools and the community.
