Why Mrs. B?

Public education and life-long learning are my passion. I love serving students and their families.

I became a teacher because it was my calling: I taught students in Red Wing Public Schools for 32 years and have served 4 years on the RWPS Board.

I felt the same call in 2022 when I ran for school board the first time. We are in the process of making amazing changes in how we meet the needs of our students and prepare them for the future. I want to continue supporting the initiatives that started during my time on the board. Quality education for all students means quality education for ALL students!

My priorities continue to be:

  • Meeting the diverse needs of our students

  • Attracting and retaining quality staff in all areas

  • Making fiscally responsible decisions that prioritize reasonable class sizes and maintaining programs that make our district unique

  • Supporting district partnerships with local nonprofits like Honoring Dakota Project, Hispanic Outreach, and the Jones Family Foundation that benefit our students

  • Supporting the partnership between RWPS and Prairie Island Indian Community

  • Doing my homework, taking ongoing board training, and BEING PRESENT for our community

  • Making decisions based on our Strategic Plan and Portrait of a Graduate

Examples of my leadership:
