Welcomed Olson Middle as becoming a certified IB school (she helped bring it)
Brought in more advanced learning classes
Helped to get the district in line with the free lunch system with the Park Board – this past winter was the one time she didn’t have to post separately for the Northside.

Pushed for over $100 million in capital improvements to District 2 schools
Completed the Franklin Pool that was supposed to be rebuilt when the school opened in 2015

Don’t forget that beautiful North High Field (where you don’t have to use a Port-a-potty)
