Public Education

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Yanna is committed to:

• After-School Enrichment: Expanding after-school programs in arts, technology, and sports to keep kids engaged and in safe, creative environments beyond school hours. These programs provide much-needed structure, mentorship, and opportunities for skill development that kids can carry into their futures. By investing in quality after-school programs, we’re giving students the tools to succeed while offering working parents peace of mind.

•​ Stronger Parent-Teacher Partnerships: Introducing user-friendly digital tools to connect parents and teachers, ensuring every child gets the support they need at home and in the classroom. Clear communication between families and schools helps address issues early and fosters a team approach to student success. With these platforms, parents can easily access grades, updates, and resources tailored to their child’s growth.

•​ Smaller Class Sizes: Advocating for funding to hire more teachers and expand classroom spaces so every student gets the attention they deserve, especially in underserved schools. Smaller class sizes lead to more individualized instruction, higher test scores, and improved social development. This initiative ensures that all students—regardless of their zip code—can reach their full potential.

•​ Career-Ready Schools: Securing funding for programs that prepare students for jobs in technology, healthcare, and green energy, ensuring they graduate with the skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce. These fields represent the jobs of tomorrow, and early exposure can give students a head start. Investing in career readiness programs will not only empower our youth but also strengthen our local economy.
