Elections
2016
Four of the seven seats on the Greenfield School District School Board were up for at-large general election on April 5, 2016.[4] In their bids for re-election, incumbents Robert Hansen, Richard Moze, and Kristie Potter faced challengers Julie DeGaro, Andrew Misorski, and David Scherbarth.[1] Potter and DeGaro won three-year terms, and Moze and Hansen won two-year terms.[2]
Two of the four seats on the ballot were up for election to regular three-year terms. The other two seats were up for special election to two-year terms due to the death of a board member and the resignation of another.[1]
Potter and fellow board member Jim Sabinash were appointed to the board in 2015 to fill the vacancies. Potter ran for re-election as an incumbent, but Sabinash chose not to run for another term. Because of his absence in the election, at least one newcomer was guaranteed to win a seat on the board.[1]

| “ | Why should people vote for you?
Working through extremely difficult situations with families of children who are at-risk for academic success and serving on advisory boards has raised my awareness of the diversity of issues facing students and families, which has led me to embrace a collaborative approach to decision making. What do you see as the major issues in the race? There exists a paradigm shift in teaching and learning dynamics for 21st century learners. Understanding current trends in education including Common Core Educational Standards, personalized and blended learning environments, differentiated instruction, transitional programming, data-based decision making, tiered intervention programs and more are critical to successful student outcomes. What is the biggest need in the district, and how would you meet it? It's imperative to be a good steward of district resources. As school budgets are increasingly strained, decisions need to be data-driven, efficient and efficacious while continuing to meet educational needs. Improving academic outcomes is also essential because the quality of public education has the largest impact in defining a community.[7] |
