Who encouraged you to run for the school board? Who are your major supporters
(individuals, groups, etc.)? I was encouraged to run for Salem-Keizer School District Board by
my family and friends who are also my major supporters at this time. I have received
endorsements from several public figures as well.

District business? I have been told that 7 hours is typical, however, I intend to spend whatever
hours are necessary. I know I will be spending many more hours up front to avoid the learning
curve and there will be hours needed to learn more about what has already been tried and is not
working in the School District.

I have only been to one so far but I am in the process of reviewing each of the meeting minutes

PART II: EDUCATION ISSUES. Please limit your response for each question to about 75
words.
2. What strengths or assets would you bring to serving on the school board?
First of all I would bring the unique perspective of one who was educated outside of the
traditional public school system. Consequently, I have seen how children have responded to
different types of education. Second, I have 15 years of experience in construction and thus
would be able to make reasonable decisions with regard to repairs and renovations. Third, I have
been responsible with my own money never living beyond my means and would do the same for
the district.
5. What changes would you like to make in the Salem-Keizer School District?
Financially, I would like to make responsible decisions about what ought to be most protected
from cuts. Practically, I would like to prioritize the essential elements of education and focus on
the fundamentals. And most importantly, I would like to involve parents in both the education in
the schools and the decision making of the board. Teachers, administrators and the board cannot
educate children without the support and active involvement of parents.
7. What are the three most important issues you would address if elected to the school
board?
A. (75 words): Financial responsibility requires that we prioritize the things that are most
essential to providing quality education to the maximum amount of students and fund those first.
We need to make smart, non-political decisions about where our funding goes and be responsible
stewards of the taxpayers’ money to get the most educational value for their dollars.
B. (75 words): English, math, science and history need more improvement in our district and
these should be the focus of academics. It’s difficult to have to set aside other programs and
classes when we have some excellent work being done in the schools in these areas, but our
children need to be able to learn to read, write and perform math if they are going to compete in
an ever-shrinking global economy.
C. (75 words): Active parental involvement and communication is the single most important
factor lacking in our district. Too many students struggle through the day because of issues at
home or issues with learning and these issues are never addressed or inadequately addressed.
My hope is not to have more money and programs for parental involvement but rather to have
parents alleviate the need for more money and programs, while at the same time improving the
students' academic success.
8. What education-related publications do you regularly read to keep on the news and on
educational issues (magazines, journals, newspapers, Web sites, etc.)? I follow the local
newspapers articles such as the Difficult Decisions series. I also consistently read articles from
National Home Education Research Institute, which is based in Salem, OR.
