She firmly believes that these foundational principles are pivotal in enabling each individual to enrich their future and contribute to their communities as adults. 

When asked about the factors that will shape her decision-making as a school board member, Dayna emphasizes her commitment to fairness and thoroughness. She pledges to review all relevant information presented, listen attentively to all perspectives, and make decisions that best serve the needs of the situation at hand. 

We warmly welcome Dayna to our School Board and are confident that her dedication and commitment will greatly contribute to our ongoing mission of educating each student to the highest standards while motivating them to reach their fullest potential and graduating them to be college, career and life ready.
