Area 1 CURRICULUM We continually examine ways in which to improve the educational experience for our students. I attend conferences and read extensively about new methods, programs and current research. The committee discusses the many area of instruction within the system, as well as assessment results. I serve on the Transformational Team for RttT, which is working on a new teacher evaluation system. I have been involved with our PEAK Program (peaceful environment at Kenston) since its beginning. We are a "work in progress" as we expand our reach and deepen our knowledge of how to make a bullying program effective. Obviously, the facets of curriculum are broad ... too broad for complete review in this space. Basically, my educational experience of longstanding is a valuable asset on this committee. Area 2 PUBLIC RELATIONS Public education is vital to the success of our nation. We need its citizens to be engaged and informed. Since the majority of our citizens are not directly involved with Kenston Schools, it is imperative we establish lines of communication which engender trust in our decisions. I helped launch our IN THE KNOW Email Program with the intention of reaching these very citizens. We are constantly expanding ways to involve senior citizens. Kenston communication is key. Informed people are interested people. And we need them. Area 3 FINANCE As a Board, we are duty bound to be excellent stewards of tax dollars received. And we are! We constantly work on ways to better utilize the citizens' moneys. We are one of the first schools in Ohio to have a wind power project. We are currently developing ways to expand our nonrenewable energy portfolio. We are researching better programs for long distance learning when class sizes are low . We are involved in a First Energy Rebate Program. Several departments have been reconfigured to implement cost savings. And, of course, we continually keep abreast of the new bills coming from the State legislature. WHY I SHOULD BE REELECTED I am uniquely qualified to serve the Kenston Schools and the Bainbridge/Auburn Community. My involvement with both spans 44 years ... as a parent, grandmother, Kenston teacher, community leader and now as a present board member. My eight grandchildren in Kenston provide one perspective of the schools. My 22 years as a Kenston teacher provide another. But most of all, my lifelong passion for education, coupled with my commitment and energy make me a positive member of the Kenston Board. I'm running for reelection because I'm confident my experience and enthusiasm are beneficial to Kenston Schools. I love the job!
