From Candidate to School Board Member

When Jodi first asked Ward 3 voters for their support, she promised to bring thoughtful, transparent, and student-centered leadership to the Norfolk School Board.

​

Voters gave her that opportunity.

​

Since taking office, she has worked to listen, learn, collaborate, and advocate for the needs of Norfolk's students and educators.

​

Serving has only reinforced her belief that meaningful progress requires consistency, collaboration, and leadership that keeps students at the center of every decision.

Core Principles

Winning the special election gave Jodi the opportunity to begin the work.

​

A full four-year term provides the opportunity to build on it.

​

Jodi is seeking another term because Norfolk Public Schools continues to face important decisions about academic achievement, school facilities, teacher recruitment and retention, student safety, career preparation, family engagement and responsible use of public resources.

​

She is ready to continue doing the work.

Putting Students First with Leadership You Can Trust.

The Work Continues.
