Library and classroom materials Leans disagree· stated position
In a written questionnaire, Burch said parents have the right to raise concerns about library and instructional materials, but that challenges should go through Florida law and the district's review process, which she said must weigh all families. She said she trusts certified media specialists' recommendations and supports publicly listing challenged titles and decisions.
"I believe every challenge should follow Florida law and the district's established review process—not personal opinions or politics."
School safety approach Leans disagree· stated position
Burch identifies bullying and student isolation as drivers of enrollment loss and describes her approach as noticing and listening to students rather than tightening discipline or adding police.
"Every day, I see firsthand how our students are feeling. I know when something changes, when something is bothering them, and when they need someone to listen."
