Change Is Needed If We Want To Move Forward

By John E. Hinden

The current Board of Education has failed to ensure accountability to the public

The children of this District deserve more and their futures should be based, in part, on competent leadership in the District. Parents should know their children are safe at school, are receiving the education promised by the District, and believe their children will become successful citizens in this community. Can parents entrust their children to this District?

The District is faced with overcrowded classrooms, not enough teachers, and not enough space to handle its needs. Is this the "safe environment" parents want their children to be in during the day?

It is time to stop the "business as usual" philosophy that exists and face the issues. The Board needs new blood and ideas on how to solve the real problems of the District. As a member of the Board I will demand the District address the safety issue by their submission of an immediate plan to make our schools safe and less stressful for students and teachers alike.

I am the only candidate who has brought up any "issue" facing this District. While other candidates talk of their experience and background, nothing is mentioned about fixing problems, or even acknowledging problems exist. It will be business as usual unless the public stands up and demands more from the Board.
