But after 13 years on the East Jackson School Board, her record tells a different story.
East Jackson is spending more per student than it did a decade ago. Yet according to the district's own 2024 M-STEP results, the numbers are hard to ignore.

| Grade | Below Proficiency |
|---|---|
| 3rd Grade | 89% |
| 4th Grade | 100% |
| 5th Grade | 92% |
| 6th Grade | 91% |
English/Reading — Students Below Proficiency
| Grade | Below Proficiency |
|---|---|
| 3rd Grade | 82% |
| 4th Grade | 76% |
| 5th Grade | 84% |
| 6th Grade | 79% |
