What do you think could be done to make your position more responsive to county citizens? Answer from John Emmons: Building on my experience as the leader of wellness campaigns at work, I would promote good nutrition in our schools through three primary avenues. They would include: 1. Education of and marketing to students regarding healthy choices. 2. Make sure healthy and enticing choices are available to students 3. Educate parents of K-6 students on healthy choices and encourage them to practice this at home and in school lunch decisions. Answer from Ed Farina: The primary step in being responsive is close contact with community members in order to understand their issues/concerns about our schools and the education we provide for our students. As an active/involved parent and community member, I spend significant time at activities, events and meetings in our community. This provides me with contact with many different individuals and families across the school district.
