SAFETY Framework

The SAFETY framework reflects the principles that guide my decisions on the Ladue Board of Education — helping sustain safe, academically strong, and responsibly governed schools.

These priorities reflect ongoing work to steward Ladue’s strong schools with safety, access, fiscal responsibility, and transparency.

Security

Smart safety planning that protects students and staff while preserving trust and dignity.


Access

Access to great teaching, strong academics, activities, and supports should never depend on zip code.


Funding

Ensuring budgets reflect classroom priorities, staffing needs, and measurable student outcomes.


Equity

Aligning resources to student need so every learner is supported in meeting high expectations.


Transparency

Prioritizing clear decision-making, open communication, and accountability to families and taxpayers.


Youth

Centering decisions on student learning, well-being, and long-term success.


This framework reflects my commitment to steward Ladue’s strong schools with thoughtful governance, transparency, and student-centered decision-making.
