As our economy strains against the threat of a recession, our school district budget strains to meet the demands of an ever-varying student population. With dollars for education shrinking everyday, it becomes more of a challenge to provide the monies to maintain a quality education while lessening the impact the students and teachers may feel. It has become more important than ever for the school board, administration, teachers and community to work as a cohesive team. As our society changes, it has become more and more vital that students have access to a quality education and are equipped via that education to function in today’s world. I believe in the abilities of our administration, our staff and the members of the Mt.Angel community to provide the support necessary to meet this all-important challenge. I believe that as a member of the Mt. Angel School District School Board, it is my responsibility to help lead the district and the community in the direction necessary to meet the aforementioned challenges. For the past 12 years, I have been committed to those challenges and I will continue to make those challenges a priority if I am re-elected. I believe that if we all come together and work as a team, we can make a difference in the education of our children. As a member of that team, I am committed to making our district one of the best in the state.
