Dennis Schminke, Austin
I write in support of Kathy Green’s candidacy for re-election to the Austin School board. Kathy and her family have been a part of the fabric of the Austin for many years. Both she and her husband Peter have been servants to the needs of the community for all that time. In addition:
Kathy has experience-as a multi-term member of the Austin School Board
Kathy is an expert — she has been appointed to serve on numerous state-level committees and boards for education and education-related matters
Kathy is committed — She can be counted on to attend a high percentage of scheduled meetings of the board and its committees
Kathy is independent — She understands the need to avoid conflicts of interest, whether real or perceived, and will do her best to bring non-biased decision making to the board. Her perspective is that of a parent who wants the best possible education for the children of this district. She will place both students’ and the community’s educational interests at the top of her list.
Finally, Kathy has a passion for constant improvement in the quality of education for the students and families of Austin.
On the basis of all of these criteria and qualifications, I strongly support Kathy’s candidacy. I urge the voters to re-elect Kathy Green to the Austin School Board when they go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
