Anne's Priorities

Anne has a plan to ensure our schools and students thrive — because strong public schools benefit every Richmonder.

She has seen what happens when schools are well-supported, and when they are not. Strong schools mean children can find stability, support, and opportunity; when schools are under-resourced, children can fall through the cracks.

Loving public schools means taking responsibility for them: investing in them, supporting teachers, and making sure every child has access to a great education.

Anne’s priorities focus on the fundamentals that set students up for long-term success:

• Helping all students read fluently and joyfully by third grade

• Ensuring mastery of key math skills in elementary school, which are the building blocks for secondary STEM courses

• Redesigning high school to enhance passion for learning and career exploration, as outlined in RPS’s Dreams4RPS strategic plan

• Attracting and retaining great teachers for every RPS classroom and strong PTA’s for every school, and

• Supporting the needed investments to make all these goals a reality.

RPS is on the rise, and Anne is committed to making sure every student, in every neighborhood, benefits.
