League of Women Voters candidate questionnaire
The following are Boetcher's responses to the candidate questionnaire published by the League of Women Voters of Dane County:[2]
1. What in your professional and community background qualifies you for this elective office?
My full-time employment is as a construction electrician. As such, I am very familiar with the inner workings of construction and bidding projects. Waunakee is currently in the middle of a major construction project while simultaneously addressing many smaller remodeling and maintenance needs in the District. My background allows me to share insight and guidance to the District when dealing with contractors and understanding the multitude of overlapping dependencies basic to construction projects. Additionally, my experience as a part-time teacher at MATC taught me to fully appreciate the skills required to teach as well as the importance of program development.
2. What is the most important issue facing your school district, and what are your ideas for addressing that issue?
Sustaining our programs and student success. Waunakee consistently ranks among the state's top academic programs, yet growing fiscal challenges facing most school districts make it increasingly difficult to sustain our great programs. We must prioritize student achievement while balancing our budget even as State Government reduces funding. We must resist using referendums to pay for operations as that is not a reliable long term plan. Local control of schools is essential to keep our priorities and budget in line with what the residents of Waunakee expect.
3. How should your school district improve its efforts to meet the diverse needs of its students?
Understanding and respecting the variety of families and individuals that comprise the Waunakee community. We need to ensure that all students and their families feel welcome to attend our schools and encouraged to participate in school-sponsored sports and activities. Students of all ethnic, religious, and gender identity backgrounds need to be treated as valuable members of the school community. We must constantly monitor academic performance to ensure that all minority groups are succeeding. Our facilities and environment must support all students, no matter their gender identity or ethnicity, so they can equally participate and succeed in the Waunakee Schools.
