3. Why are you running for the school board?
    
Chris Benda
Give something back to a great school district and employees, also I have personal interest as I have 2 children grades 6 and 8 in the school system, and I also think it is my civic duty.
     
Shele Blum
I am running for the school board position because I believe that a successful school requires parents that are willing to get involved and take interest in their children's education. My daughter started kindergarten this year and my son will be in kindergarten next year. Therefore, I feel it is important to get involved now. As both a parent and a former teacher, I bring experience from both perspectives to the school board.
     
Rich Herrington
I am running for the school board because I’d like to help the school through this time of growth. I am wanting to serve the community (parents and students) in working with the administration to help in maintaining the quality education it provides.
  
Jim McKean
To continue efforts to improve the academic environment in the district and prepare for future challenges in a growing and educationally dynamic district;

To develop and defend policies that distinguish the Gilbert School District as a place for parents to select in the best educational and emotional interests of their children; and

To effectively marshal financial and personnel resources to strengthen patron-driven goals.
     

Mary Zimmerman
I love our school, administrators, teachers, and our students. I am so proud of what we do and how others view us. I want to continue this tradition. I want to contribute to our school district and be a part of the process and progress that we make. I make a living by what I get, but I make a life by what I give.
