Steve Navarre
believes
strongly that better education and stronger schools are built on accountability,
communication and transparency. He will apply these principles to every educational
and fiscal decision to make Plano schools the educational opportunity we have come to expect.
As a parent, Steve has always been very active in his children’s education and has
worked to be a strong advocate for them. He knows what parents go through
every day both in and out of school – from helping with homework and parent-teacher
conferences to balancing work, school and extracurricular activities. The “Parent
Perspective” is needed to be an effective school board trustee.
Steve’s 10 years of corporate consulting brings a fresh perspective, new ideas and
real-world business insights at time when Plano ISD needs it the most. In his consulting
career, he has worked daily with Fortune 500 clients to build efficiencies, reduce
costs, improve processes and execute solutions on a multi-million dollar scale.
His business acumen and proven leadership abilities are needed to balance the $17
million budget deficit and increase our district ratings from Acceptable to Exemplary.
Goals:
- Balance the $17 million budget deficit through reduced spending
- Raise state ratings beyond "Acceptable"
- Increase all aspects of communications
- Increase fiscal transparency by supporting an online check register
