Campaign themes

Hoehn published a candidate statement in Mid Rivers Newsmagazine:
| “ | I am running for the Board of Education because a great quality education is the single most important thing we can provide our children. My priorities would be to continue to improve and add educational opportunities for our students to assure academic success. Second is the budget projected to have a $22 million deficit this year and a larger deficit next year. The current board, by approving this budget, depleted district reserves and will be unable to maintain staffing levels without a tax increase. Third we need to make sure we have local control over our curriculum instead of national standards.
I care about the students and the district. I served on the Francis Howell School Board for six years. I’m an active volunteer in the district and a member of the Facilities Committee. I have served on the Community Relations and Communications committees, District Design Team and Safety Task Force. I actively volunteered in my children’s schools for over 20 years. I have a practical and common sense approach to issues and will ask the hard questions to get the most cost-effective use of your tax dollars while maintaining the focus on student safety and achievement. No tax increase![6] |
