Dr. Myriam Juritz

As a Spanish-speaking immigrant NSD parent and 10+ years volunteer with a Doctorate degree, I know the impact education can have on people’s lives. I believe that all students deserve the best education possible so they achieve their fullest potential in a safe and financially sound system. Our future depends on their present!

 

Schools should provide all students with healthy, suitable challenges for all learning levels, to create resilience, develop love for learning, and promote growth.  We must prepare them for a competitive world through appropriate academic excellence and consistent opportunities. I believe in critical thinking, fact-based education, and open respectful debate on controversial topics to foster problem-solving and independent thinking.  

 

Safety has to be our top priority. Amidst concerns with mental health, crime, bullying and drugs, we must restore physical and mental safety for our students and staff. We must adopt evidence-based solutions to keep our kids safe so they focus on learning to better their lives. 

The current budget deficit calls for tough decisions and disciplined prioritization. Fiscal responsibility and long-term stability should be our guiding principles. Please enable me to put my passion, energy and skills to serve you by trusting me with your vote!
