We'll work on getting everyone to feel very positive about the schools and the community. That will take some time. I need to get to know people first.

This is a positive way for the community to work together to make our town look its very best. By having this Rid-Litter Day, we hope picking up litter will become contagious and build pride in our community.

I just want to continue to make good decisions that will affect everyone in the community in a positive manner,

We will work one on one with students. We'll have college access advisers in the schools full time.

In my estimation we will work with schools for 10 to 12 years, until they are sustainable and funded, and then drop them from the program and pick up new schools. It can't be a series of programs funded externally — its start-up funding.
