For Seat 4 - South School District
With the creation of the new South School District, we have a rare opportunity to rethink how we educate our children. I'm running to help build a modern, responsive school system that reflects our community's values and prepares our students for the future.
Rethink, Don't Just Rebuild
We can start fresh and design a school system that actually works for today's students
Support Teachers, Staff, and Admins
Our educators deserve real support - when they thrive, so do our students
Expand Career & Technical Education
Let's give our students real-world skills and options through hands-on CTE programs
Keep Schools Community-Centered and Transparent
Local voices matter! I'll fight for open communication, clear budgets, and decisions that reflec tthe values of our families

JULIE WALKER
I love to collaborate and work well with others. I not only listen, but I take action when and where I can. As PTA President, I successfully advocated for a new Cascade Elementary School in Orem.
For over a decade, I’ve worked side-by-side with parents, educators, and administrators to strengthen our schools:
- 7 years as Orem Council PTA President
- Service on multiple School Community Councils at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels
- Former member of the Alpine District Community Council
- Organizer of Orem Peace and Pie Night, a community healing event that brought people together after a divisive election
-
- Small business owner in Orem since 2009
Running a business has taught me the value of wise budgeting, creative problem-solving, and collaboration. These are the same skills I’ll bring to the school board: planning ahead, managing resources, and building consensus to get things done.
My Platform: A Better Future for Every Student
RETHINK, DON'T JUST REBUILD
We need bold ideas, not business-as-usual. Let’s create smarter systems for better outcomes—not just copy what’s been done before.
SUPPORT TEACHERS, STAFF & ADMINS
Great schools start with great people. That means better pay, respect, and support for teachers, school staff, and administrators—the backbone of our schools.
DATA-INFORMED, PEOPLE-CENTERED
Use smart data, but always listen to real people. Decisions should be transparent, thoughtful, and shaped by parents, students, teachers, and community voices..
STRENGTHEN CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION
CTE programs open doors to real-world opportunities. Let’s expand pathways in trades, tech, health, and entrepreneurship—giving students more ways to succeed.
INVEST IN SCHOOL SPORTS & COACHES
Athletics build leadership, discipline, and school spirit. Coaches shape lives, and school sports bring communities together. I’ll advocate for strong programs that uplift students.
STRONG BASICS, MODERN SKILLS
A renewed focus on
literacy and math—plus 21st-century skills in digital literacy, communication, and critical thinking.
TRANSPARENT SPENDING & LOCAL CONTROL
Tax dollars should be easy to track. Let’s keep budgets clear, accountable, and centered on what matters most: students.
PARTNER WITH PARENTS
Parents are a child’s first teacher. I’ll champion meaningful engagement, clear communication, and real collaboration with families.
This is our moment—to build a school district that reflects our values, supports every learner, and prepares the next generation for a brighter future.
