Campaign themes
2013
Ross provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Clark County:[6]
|
"I am a product of public schools, and both of my daughters attended Vancouver public schools. I have a CPA and an M.B.A., and I would like to bring my business and financial sense to help improve the school district. I believe that we should focus on the classroom, insuring that additional funds are used at that level instead of additional layers of administration. I believe that principals should have more control over their budgets and personnel. I believe that the financial information provided by the school board should be more transparent and understandable." |
