Campaign themes

In a 2013 interview with the Courier Post, Denny stated the following when asked about his campaign priorities:

How can the district meet its budget challenges? Denny said money is always an issue. “There are lots of needs but a finite pool of money,” he said. “We need to continue to be diligent and creative in looking for alternative sources of resources to provide excellent education for less. Our present board is financially very conservative, we are not financially irresponsible.” The district has a five-year emergency levy that raises about $7 million annually. If elected, will you support its renewal? If it’s needed. He says he’s a financial conservative, but when the levy was presented it was because of an unstable financial situation and the board chose to put extracurriculars on the block because it wanted to preserve AP classes and other educational programs. “We can’t close buildings because they are full,” he said. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the district in the next four years? He cites performance on the state report card, and says if elected he would focus also on improve and expand blended learning, ongoing improvement of the relationship with the townships and improving engaging and educating the public about issues. “We will figure out how to work with the new (report card) system and move forward. We have excellent administrators and teachers who will step up to the challenge.”
