At a candidate forum on September 4, 2014, at Willie Hinton Neighborhood Resource Center, Spring stated that the board should emphasize accountability for district officers. She said, "We are here trying to make sure that children learn, and if I am elected I believe I can provide the leadership skills to the board to help them better govern and regulate the educational services within the district."[6]

She also commented on the budget issues facing the district saying,

I would more than likely insist that a committee (teachers, parents, administrators, etc.) be formed in order to give proper consideration to this concern and make recommendations for possible cuts. The board needs to consider cutting budget items that are as much as possible not tied to student learning. I personally have some recommendations for cuts such as legal fees and other administrative costs.[7]
