Decision for running for the Board of Education: My husband and I have three children in the school system, and I wanted to ensure they receive a quality education.
Future achievements for USD #508: I want to see the continuation of the hiring of quality teachers to build our district into an even better system. Increased communication between teachers and parents to increase parental involvement; as this is one area that can always be improved upon. Our achievements become greater every year, and as we succeed to our maximum potential, there is no limit as to how far we can go.
Additional Information: I am married to Rusty Bingham, and we have three daughters who attend Baxter Schools. I spend most of my time at my children's activities. I graduated from Missouri Southern with a Bachelors Degree in Political Science & Public Administration. I also have several hours of graduate studies in education at Pittsburg State University.
