The time that we vote will be the time that we show our opinion on this. And so I ll let my vote do my talking.
Johnson said that there has been much misinformation, diversion, and in some cases, downright lies about the situation. He laid out the facts as he knows them.
He ran for election to share his passion for learning with the community and on behalf of his daughters. He wants to continue to help lead and shape our district into delivering excellence. He said what sets him apart from his challengers is being a nine year member of the current school board. I bring historical insight to all the major projects that have been going on within the district and all the advancements that we have made. I have a great focus to maintain that our curriculums are suited for everyone, he said.
After years of experience participating in School Board meetings as a member of the public, he can effect greater change by serving on the School Board. Getting involved in making things better is important, and it s imperative for good people to stand up and serve, especially at the local level.
