What Zag Stands For

Three priorities. Zero compromise. All for the students of St. Lucie County.

Budgetary Critical Analysis

Follow the money. Every dollar spent on administration instead of instruction is a dollar that failed a student.

Demand transparent, line-by-line budget reviews in every public session
Identify and challenge wasteful spending that doesn't serve students directly
Push to redirect funds toward classrooms, teachers, and resources that impact learning
Hold administrators accountable for fiscal decisions with the same rigor applied to academic outcomes
Support independent audits and genuine community oversight of school finances

Parents built these communities. Their voices belong in every decision affecting their children — not just during public comment.

Oppose any policy that removes parents from the decision-making process without notice or recourse
Ensure parents have timely, clear access to curriculum materials, books, and instructional content
Create a formal parental advisory structure with real input on district policy — not a rubber stamp
Defend the right of parents to opt their children out of programs they find objectionable
Require meaningful, timely communication from schools — not bureaucratic runaround

College isn't the only definition of success. Every student deserves equal investment in the future they choose.

Expand and fully fund vocational, trade, and technical education programs
Ensure arts, athletics, and entrepreneurship tracks receive equal respect and resources
Develop partnerships with local employers and trade guilds for real-world readiness
Create mentorship pipelines connecting students with professionals in their fields of interest
Measure school success not just by college acceptance rates, but by student readiness for life

These aren't just talking points — they're commitments. Help put someone accountable in District 3.
