Salem-Keizer School District
24J RON JONES OCCUPATION: Manager, State of Oregon OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: 32 Years of government experience in traffic
safety and enforcement. EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: Community College PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: 32 Years of public
service. STATEMENT: My work history includes experience in managing
multi-million dollar budgets. My responsibilities require me to coordinate the
participation and effort of 62 different police agencies in the State of
Oregon. Working with and coordinating the effort of many agencies has provided
a unique opportunity to develop listening and negotiating skills. As public
safety workers we all share a common goal of protecting the citizenry, yet each
jurisdiction has unique needs. It has been particularly rewarding to find common
ground among multiple local agencies and succeed in developing a common traffic
safety plan. My experience working with Federal, State, and
local governments has provided me the skills to help the District move forward
responsibly. It has given me an understanding of relationship building with
government officials, stakeholders and the public. I am confident that our local School District is
capable of succeeding within its fiscal means. My children went through Oregons
public school system and my grand children presently attend public schools. I
believe that as citizens we have a moral obligation to provide a public
education that gives opportunity to all. The School Districts priority should be the
education of our children. Citizen and parent involvement are critical to a
healthy public education system. As a member of the School Board I will hold
school officials accountable and encourage the involvement of parents and
citizens. Together we can create an education system the can live within its means
and provide and effective and valuable education for our children. Elect Ron
Jones to the Salem-Keizer School Board Ron Jones will be a valuable addition to the
Board. His years of dedicated public service demonstrates his sincerity to
improve our community. Mark Adams,
School Board Member Ron Jones experience and leadership will serve the
Board well. David McKane,
