Camille’s Priorities

Reallocate Legal Fees to Students

Fire lawyer, Omar Tarazi, on day 1 and reallocate the $9k per month into resources that directly benefit students.

Dialogue with the Community

Change the format of some board meetings to create real two‑way dialogue with the community. The people elect the board—the board should be talking directly with the people.

Strengthen SEL Supports

Review Social Emotional Learning to see what’s working, where more support is needed, and how to better reach students to improve behavior, performance, and attendance.
