|
"I am seeking election to the Battle Ground School Board for numerous reasons. My wife, our five children and I all graduated from Battle Ground Schools. I would like the opportunity to help with our district, particularly because I have multiple relatives and friends with children in BGSD. I feel strongly that fiscal responsibility is needed within our board, while we work to provide students and teachers with the necessary tools. My main goal is that all students graduate with the skills necessary to become responsible citizens in today's society who will become contributing members of our community." |
