People have a lot of reasons for taking an interest in our schools. Some fear public education is going in the wrong direction and they want to intervene. Some want to add their voice to a particular cause – more music, more art, better sports.
I’m here for the teachers. My wife and best friend has been killing it for 30 years in our public schools and through her I have come to appreciate the sacrifices teachers make. They are the best educated low wage workers in our society. They get blamed for everything that’s wrong and get little credit for their successes.
School board members don’t get to have an agenda. It’s mostly working through the challenges of too-small budgets and often complicated policies.
But, to the degree than i can lean in to one particular thing, I will be there for our teachers. I will advocate for them and consider their needs in every choice I make.
