Campaign themes

2015

Ebert completed a voter guide profile for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

What are your top priorities for the district?

Continue to implement a new accreditation plan to maintain full accreditation status for our district. Achieve financial stability and the passage of the no-tax-increase bond issue, Prop I. Develop a Science Technology Engineering Arts Math (STEAM) School. Continue the district's strategic plan. Continue to advocate for at-risk and special-learning-needs students.

Why are you qualified to serve in this office?

I am a lifelong North County resident and a parent of three children who attend schools in our district. I have served for three years on the school board, student subcommittees and the Special School District governing council. I will continue to work tirelessly for our students' education. I hope the voters will allow me to continue this work.[5]

—Brian Scott Ebert (2015)[6]

2012

Ebert published his campaign platform online:

A 1979 graduate of Jennings High School and the parent of three children in the District, Scott is a believer in the value of a quality public education. Scott advocates measures which can provide all children in our area with a path to a fulfilling future for themselves and our community as a whole:
  • Limits on Class Size: In recent years, restrictions on class size have been lifted in our District due to budgetary constraints. Yet research shows the benefit of smaller classes including improved student achievement, higher graduation rates and narrowing of the achievement gap -- all issues currently facing students in our District. Scott believes we must move toward, not away from, the goal of meaningful reductions in class size even as we deal with tightening budgets.
  • Maintain Full District Accreditation: The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education recently issued a Preliminary Annual Performance Report for our District which found Ferguson-Florissant to be satisfactory on seven of 14 standards. The final evaluation is due in 2014, putting the District at a critical juncture in its history as it works to improve its status on seven additional measures. Scott believes that unwavering commitment and bold, creative solutions are called for now to ensure full accreditation is maintained.
  • Sound Fiscal Management: With continued economic challenges facing the District, we must take greater care to ensure that the budget cuts we make do not undermine the efforts we are making to improve student achievement. Scott believes that careful and thoughtful examination of our finances could help necessary savings be found while maintaining commitment to students and investing in the future.[5]
