CAITLIN J. VIERRAI value gathering input and hope that the community will continue to call in to the board meetings and share their support or concern. Change happens by action and voting is just the first step towards seeing the change we all need. I encourage you all to continue to write in and express your wants and needs as we head into 2021! If I’m elected I will look forward to gathering community feedback and brining that back to the board meetings. |
Top Thing she Wants to Accomplish
There has been a huge improvement in the distance learning program for the fall compared to the spring. This is an unprecedented situation and it’s commendable to everyone involved for the time and effort it takes to sustain distance learning.
As for improvement, I would like to see the board actually address public comment. Often time the comments of concerned parents and community members are glossed over and I think there should be a more formal process for recognition of their concerns.

What Experiences, Past jobs, or Education makes her qualified for School Board?

Why did she decide to run?I am running to give back to our community. I see a need within our district for having more diversity of thought within our board and I can provide that while representing our taxpayers and our teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders. I listen with an open mind and value honesty and respect, and I look forward to the opportunity to use my skill set to serve the community.

How will she respond to COVID-19 as a member of the School Board?First, we need to continue to have options as we phase back into on-campus learning. Some parents will need to have students back and some will remain in distance or homeschool, and those options need to be available.
For students transitioning back, the only way we can safely reopen is if we take mandated health guidelines seriously. Our best chance is to keep our students and their teachers in cohorts all day and prevent the mixing of those groups with detailed school day scheduling. This will minimize the need for mass quarantining of student populations when people become infected. The smaller the groups the fewer people need to be quarantined. It will be highly disruptive to our students, teachers, and parents to throw them back and forth between on-campus and distance learning with frequent two week quarantine periods. |
