Cook for School Board

Thank you for your Support!

With all the votes now counted, this campaign to prioritize reading proficiency by grade 3 and give voice to a parent’s perspective has been a success! I will join the Rochester school board on January 3, 2023.

I’m so grateful for the steadfast support of my incredible family and for the opportunity to cross paths with so many supporters and dedicated volunteers and community builders over these past few months while spreading the word about this campaign. Now that our community has had their say, I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve our students, their families, and our entire community on the school board and I’m looking forward to getting to work! Thank you!

My Priorities

Opportunity

Ours is the land of opportunity, and our public schools should be the means of aggressively conveying that opportunity to every single student.

Opportunity

Public education is not just for students, and it is not just for parents of students. The benefits of public education accrue to the entire community.

Opportunity

Vision

I am running to invite this community to share my vision of Rochester as a model of excellence on curriculum, discipline, infrastructure, community partnerships, and ultimately on educational outcomes.
