My candidate statement

By Rick Ochsenhirt

Education and Qualifications: I have lived in our wonderful city for almost 30 years and I love it. I want to serve as a school board trustee for many reasons. I believe the position is one of honor and respect given to someone who has the desire, experience and commitment to serve. I've had the opportunity to serve our community for the past 17 years in a variety of ways and positions. I would like to continue my involvement with the school district by becoming a policy maker.

I believe an important goal is my service to the parents of the children of the school district. Parents will let us know if we are doing the job of setting policies that provide a safe and sound environment for their children to receive a first class education. I look forward to an open dialogue on school issues with all interested parties.

I want to inspire others to aid in creating a credible academic environment for our children. I believe the school district would be best served by someone with my qualifications and commitment. I will bring a standard of care to our community that is unmatched by others.

Vote Rick Ochsenhirt for SSFUSD trustee.
