Page Rander participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 5, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Page Rander's responses follow below.[2]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Student performance (currently high in our district) |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Equitable school funding in this state as well as unfunded mandates at the state and federal level.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Page Rander answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | One of the strongest and bravest people I've known was my dad. He was a POW in Vietnam for over 5 years. He never once broke, maintained his faith in God, country and his family. He also gave of himself freely and never had a discriminating bone in his body, despite facing it himself.[4] | ” |
| “ | There is a an older book by Jonathan Kozol called, "Savage Inequalities." I read it long before I became involved in public education. I refer to it a lot, because it touches on inequitable school funding and why "fair and equal" are so important.[4] | ” |
| “ | I always believe that an elected official should be selfless, be open to the big picture and understand that you are there to help/support/represent the masses, not one small group. I often refer to me and my colleagues as servant-leaders.[4] | ” |
| “ | Far above and beyond the cliche, "experience," I have passion for public education in Texas. The position is to serve the staff and students of this district, first and foremost. As an advocate in the community, state and nationally, I will serve in a manner that ensures our students are prepared for a life well lived. I heard a pastor once say that if you live your life right, it will outlast you. I was raised to stand for something more than what I came from. My service to the Clear Creek ISD community is just that![4] | ” |
| “ | Be prepared to work hard, listen well and be a good steward of the district's resources. Students, staff and parents are depending on you to make decisions that will last a lifetime in the life of a child. That's why I think of each student in Clear Creek ISD as MY child.[4] | ” |
| “ | I'd like to leave a legacy of success for those students' lives I touch now and in the future. When each decision is made, I make them knowing that I'm affecting - possibly changing - a student's life in a positive way. I don't need anyone to know my name and that I made history serving. At the end of the day, it's not about me, it's about the students.[4] | ” |
| “ | By thinking of each child as my own, each staff member as a friend and each person as my neighbor. Can we make everyone happy all of the time? No, but knowing, in the long run that the decision is for the greater good, makes me content in knowing that we have completed a job well done.[4] | ” |
| “ | I will continue to do what I have done for the past 7 years: listen to each person and take their needs and opinions in to consideration. I don't represent one voting district, I represent all 210,000+ constituents. No matter who has voted for me! I try to always be available for events and meetings, regardless of where they are in the district. I wouldn't be doing my job if the community couldn't see me out and supporting them.[4] | ” |
| “ | Clear Creek ISD already has this and continues to expand career and technical education opportunities at every turn.[4] | ” |
| “ | I will continue to advocate in Austin and Washington for equitable public school funding. Ideally, a family can live anywhere and expect the same educationally advantages, regardless of their zip code.[4] | ” |
