DR KARP'S PRIOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS OF ACTION FOR THE FUTURE

LOOKING BACK, DURING MY 16 YEARS OF SERVICE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD:

  • Constituents received a response from me within 24 hours (or less, if urgent). Expect that to continue.
  • Efforts were made to ensure that all children reached their full potential. Expect that to continue.
  • High School graduation rates increased by nearly 30 percent. Expect that trend to continue.
  • Our school system was recognized as the top performing urban school district in the nation. Expect a high level of academic achievement to continue.
  • An emphasis was placed on listening to people in a respectful way. Expect that to continue.
  • Politics were kept out of school discussions and policies. Expect that to continue.
  • 100+ of my policy initiatives were approved by the School Board. Expect successful outcomes and innovative approaches to education to continue.

MOVING FORWARD, I SUPPORT:

  • Emphasizing basic skills.
  • Giving teachers better pay and benefits.
  • Ensuring that every student graduates with a skill whether it is coding, robotics, automotive maintenance, or another specialty.
  • Expanding after-school programming. Many problems can be avoided if children are engaged in fun and meaningful supervised activities after school.
  • Establishing partnerships with science and tech industries and providing internships in these fields.
  • Promoting safe and healthy learning environments for all students and teachers.
  • Bringing back joy to learning and making school fun.

ALSO, I SUPPORT:

  • Promoting "real" P.E. where students are moving around.
  • Introducing healthy and tasty lunches.
  • Encouraging more field trips. Let's make school fun!
  • Advocating for Augmented Intelligence, which aims to enhance and support human intelligence. Emphasize teacher training from elementary to high school in all areas of technology to make Miami-Dade County Public Schools the Technology Hub in the State of Florida. Direct staff to pursue grants from the National Science Foundation and Department of Education.
