Obviously, we are facing difficult times (I hesitate to use the word ‘crisis’- it’s used way too much these days). When the economy is in a downturn, governments expect schools to cut spending. Most schools are running at barely break-even anyway, so any budget cut is detrimental to a quality education.

As a member of the USD 204 school board, I’ll do everything I can to ensure that the district operates as efficiently as possible. It is imperative that we don’t cut essential services.

I’ll use this site to keep you informed about local education issues, as well as campaign progress. There will not be any school board vote in the primary elections on March 3, 2009. The general election is on April 07, 2009. Even if you don’t vote for me, please vote!

To kick things off, I’ve included a poll to get your thoughts on the issues facing our district. Let me know what you think!
