Austintown Township, OH
Austintown Board of Education
I would like to become a member of the board so that the parents of our children can feel like there is someone there they can relate to, and someone who will listen to their concerns and take action. It is great to have board members with years of experience, but it is also important to have members who have a vested interest in the everyday dealings of the schools.
I am the immediate past president of the Watson PTA, and I am currently in my 4th year as an active member within the organization. I am also a member of the Frank Ohl PTA, and I currently hold the position of Secretary for the Austintown Council of PTA's.
It seems that the bond issue for the building of the new schools is the biggest thing now. While this will be decided by the time the new term begins, I feel it will be of the utmost importance to properly deal with the decision the voters make. If the decision is to build the new schools, or try to raise more money to repair the old schools, those are the decisions that were made, and we will have to deal with them the best way possible.
Communication, Communication, Communication... This is the one area that the public feels that the board has been lacking. If any organization is to be a success, there have to be open lines of communication. It doesn't matter if it is listening to public concerns, or providing accurate information, it has to be a two-way street of communication for our children’s success and the success of our community!
