Received a postcard reminder in the mail yesterday for Denise Schnell. She is running for another term on the Park Hill District School Board. Denise lives here at the lake with her husband Greg and their children who attend District schools. She has been on the Board multiple terms and has served the roles of President and Treasurer. I've called her several times to ask questions regarding the District and she has been very responsive. Why should you care, especially if you don't have kids in the PH District?
If you pay property taxes you should care. A majority of your tax dollars go to support the District. Don't believe it? Pull out your last tax bill and do the math. It's big.
Ironically it's not enough. Any parent can tell you about the fund raising necessary to keep programs and teaching materials going through the efforts of PTAs and various "Backer" organizations. Not complaining, just sharing with those who might not know.
Quality of education? We've experienced elementary through high school, I would give an A-/B+. Very good with room for improvement. That's why we support and are involved in PTA.
So, if you are a West Sider and considered blowing off the April election because there was no race, reconsider. PH District is important, give Denise consideration. East siders going to write in for alderman due your diligence for the District as well.
Class dismissed.
