School Board Election

Background:

Mr. Mueller is a full time high school student, on track to graduate in June. He has been in District F for one year.  Mr. Mueller loves WCSD as it has been a formative part of his education. Mr. Mueller believes his age makes him a unique candidate for this race and his voice would add diversity of opinion to a board that is made up of those who are much older and not nearly as connected to the current state of schools within Washoe County.

​

Platform:

• Focus on greater transparency from the board

• Focus on getting more students involved with their education

• Focus on creating a better environment and placing an emphasis on proficiency

• Believes students and teachers are being left behind by the Board of Trustees

• Believes putting individuals on the Board who possess  first person experience with the school district is important

• First hand experience with teacher shortages and larger class sizes that has resulted in severely adverse effects for both students and teachers.

• Provides first hand unique experience 

• Believes the adverse conditions have resulted in increased teacher burnout rates and students struggling to learn

• Supports raising teacher pay, hiring more teachers, and opening more schools

• Most pressing issues within the district include teacher burnout, students’ proficiencies, and high teacher turnover rates

• Supports increased per pupil spending and lower class sizes

• Supports introducing gender and sexual identity discussions earlier in middle school during SHARE.

• Believes that it is imperative to teach American History in a truthful and unbiased fashion, and while it never easy to accept that racially unjust systems were created in America and still perpetuated to this day - it is imperative that we accept these flaws and teach them.

 

He agrees with BBME's Parent Bill of Rights.
