OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND:

Civil Engineer, Dennis Dodds and Associates, Tahoe City, CA

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:

Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, BS Civil Engineering

Silverton Union High School, grades 9 through 12

Scotts Mills Elementary, grades 1 through 8

PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: none

I am willing to serve on the school board because I have a vested interest in the long term successful operation of our schools.

My wife and I own our home and thus have a financial interest in how our tax dollars are used. Our family consists of four daughters and my wife’s niece. Our oldest daughter and our niece are a freshman and sophomore at Silverton High and our youngest daughter is three years old, so we will have nearly fourteen years in which we will have children attending Silverton High. I also have friends and family members who also have children attending Silverton area schools.

I have lived in the Silverton area most of my life, gone through the school system, participated in school athletics, and currently have children in the school system.

My professional background is in construction. As a civil engineer I design, detail, and specify the structural components of buildings. I have worked in this field for the last thirteen years, both in the planning and design stages and hands-on in the field, and so have some technical expertise to bring to the board.

I am willing to expend some of my time, energy, and expertise to assist in the successful operation of our schools by serving on the school board.

Thank you,

Rock Shetler
