There’s still time to run for Ohio Board of Education

DEAR EDITOR:

There may be nonetheless time to run.

Don’t make me run.

At my age, don’t make me run for a bipartisan workplace.

I’m youthful than Biden and Trump, Pelosi, McConnell and even DeWine. All of them, however our governor, are too previous and will simply cease working and dividing us with their foolishness. Schumer is simply 5 months youthful than I’m. Have I satisfied you but?

What’s the bipartisan workplace that I point out?

It’s our area’s member of the State of Ohio Board of Training; at the moment often called “District 7,” it too has been mired in politics together with the state’s legislative districts. As I write, it is perhaps “District 10.” A lot for completely bipartisan, huh?

For the previous few years, it was the possession of a member appointed by Gov. Kasich, Sarah Fowler Arthur, from 2013 till 2021. In Ohio, there are 11 elected members of the board and eight appointed by the governor. Fowler Arthur ran for the board twice and was by no means opposed. She didn’t full her remaining time period, nonetheless. Nope, she had a “increased calling” and was elected to the Ohio Home of Representatives. What a dedication to schooling. (Sorry, readers, that was sarcasm.) Gov. DeWine appointed Akron Insurance coverage agent Tim Miller to finish the time period. Whether or not Miller is working, opposed or unopposed, isn’t identified.

The deadline to run is Aug. 10, so there’s nonetheless time for a candidate to file. Might it’s you?

Sarah’s declare to fame for seven years of her eight-year run was that she was the one home-schooled scholar to ever serve on a state board of schooling. That and the truth that she was an entrepreneur at age 11 (she owned “Sarah’s Eggs” on her dad and mom’ farm) made her eminently electable. That is vice-presidential materials for positive. Keep in mind that different notorious Sarah, the mental big from Alaska? (Sarcasm once more.)

So, if you’re concerned with representing our area, and you’re a proponent of schooling for all Ohioans, not simply the lower than 1 % home-schooled, however the different, over 99 % schooled in lecture rooms of private and non-private colleges, I’ll help you and vote for you.

Once more, don’t make me run.
