Whether for past accomplishments or future goals, why should voters elect you? __I am committed to the educational welfare

depends on an informed electorate.
Kenston has been doing very well.
members.

We are at the top of our game and keep getting better! No reason to replace board

Our administration has stretched our levy again, as it has done in the past. We are implementing innovative new programs in
physical education/nutrition, wind power and solar power. These programs provide valuable education for our students and will
provide energy savings and they are supported by grants received!
It is valuable to have at least several experienced board members. Our superintendent and treasurer are eligible to retire and
experienced board members would provide the leadership and guidance necessary to find replacements.
I have participated in every Board Leadership Institute and Capital Conference sponsored by The Ohio School Boards Association
since becoming a board member. Each of these is once a year. I believe continuing education for board members is important.
