Lillian's Priorities
The Four Pillars of an Unshakable District
-
Kids First
Every choice on the board must begin and end with student success. Lillian will fight for equitable funding across District 2, modern learning tools, safe environments, and expanded mental health and extracurricular support to help every child thrive.
-
Parents as Partners
Strong schools need engaged families. Lillian is committed to open-door transparency, accessible board meetings across our large geographic district, and ensuring parents always have a direct, respected voice in their child's education.

Valuing Teachers
To attract and keep the best educators, we must treat them as the elite professionals they are. Lillian will champion competitive compensation, smaller class sizes, and classroom autonomy, while ensuring teachers have a safe, supportive environment to teach.
-
Empowering Workers
From bus drivers and cafeteria staff to custodians and paraeducators, school workers are the backbone of our district. Bringing her deep labor leadership from ATU Local 1447, Lillian will ensure every worker has fair wages, safe conditions, and a real seat at the table.
