I
am proud to officially announce my candidacy for the Muskegon Board of
Education. As a lifelong resident of Muskegon, I have tremendous passion and
love for the area and its people. I have
been an avid Big Red Football fan for as long as I can remember. I now want to
take my passion from the field to every nook and cranny of this district. Due
to declining revenues in our public school systems, this district, along with
others across the state, has its problems. We will overcome these issues, and
together we can emerge as a stronger, more improved school district. One
dedicated to a cutting edge education that will prepare our students for the
wide array of today’s careers.
Not
long ago, I sat in the classroom as a student. This fresh perspective is
something the current board lacks, and is something that would benefit the
students of this district. I am a strong believer of having every voice
represented in our community, and believe my new voice would be advantageous to
the district. I am not far removed from
the daily lives of those being educated in the district, and will continue to
stay in close contact with the students and staff of our beloved district.
The
public education system is the bedrock of a strong community. It is the
foundation that allows for neighborhoods to thrive and for our economy to boom.
We must once again work to strengthen our schools and create a platform for
schools to succeed and prosper.
After
years of continued cuts and reductions, it is time someone is willing and ready
to stand up for the students, staff and
teachers of this district. It is time to go toe-to-toe with Lansing legislators
to restore funding to our schools and undo decades of revenue decline. With
your help, I believe I can be that person.
Earl
Morrall, a 1952 graduate of Muskegon High School and NFL quarterback, once
said, “The difference between good and great, is often just to do a little bit
more.” It is time to do a little bit more – more to make Muskegon great on the
field, but most importantly, great in the classroom.
It’s time to tackle
the tough problems and defend our moral right to public education.
Committed to community. Dedicated to progress.
