“I enjoy working for the school district and keeping our schools safe and up and running. However, we face challenges every day that can sometimes be overwhelming. I often hear complaints that repairs take too long or aren't getting done. Our campuses are old and run down. We don't have enough staff to keep up with all the maintenance that comes with aging buildings, so we end up unfortunately being reactive rather than proactive.”
