My name is Ben Kolendo, and I am honored to announce my candidacy for School Board District 1. I have had the privilege of serving our school district for six years, including time as a school board member. As someone deeply invested in the future of our children and the health of our educational system, I hope to continue my work to ensure every student has access to high-quality education.
Our district is at a critical juncture, and the decisions we make now will shape the educational experiences of our students for years to come. I believe in a bipartisan approach to governance, one that transcends party lines and focuses on the needs of our students and community. By fostering collaboration among educators, parents, and community leaders, I aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive.
I am committed to addressing the diverse needs of our student population, enhancing educational resources, and promoting policies that support both academic excellence and personal growth. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient educational system that prepares our children for the challenges of tomorrow.
I believe in reducing or cutting unnecessary spending and reallocating those funds to resources that directly benefit our students. Our budget should prioritize the core mission of education—providing the tools and opportunities for our students to succeed.
I firmly support the rights and freedoms of students and parents. Parents should direct their child's education, and students should feel supported in their pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. By fostering a collaborative relationship between the school district and families, we can ensure that each child's individual needs are met.
I believe in maintaining a traditional curriculum structure that emphasizes foundational knowledge and skills. Our curriculum should be rooted in the basics of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and civics preparing our students for the challenges of the future while respecting the time-tested methods of the past.
