I am writing in support of Sue Bowman, Brad Gettinger and David Madden for Greenville School Board. As one of the tri-chairs for the successful K-8 school campaign, and member of the Business Advisory Council working closely with the Board of Education for the last 4 years, I am asking for your vote for Sue Bowman, Brad Gettinger and David Madden. During the 4 month long campaign, we worked with many leaders of integrity and character and these three (3) people were at the forefront of the campaign from the very beginning in every sense of the word.
Sue Bowman is an excellent, honest proven leader as board president, and under her leadership many positive, tough and heart-felt, forward moving changes have taken place to bring Greenville Schools to our current level of high momentum. Sue and her husband Regan have 5 children (1 special needs), who all graduated from Greenville Schools. Sue runs a business, works on their farm, and still makes time to be a positive voice to bring high standards for all students in Greenville Schools.
Brad Gettinger is an outstanding leader of character and honesty and is an informed parent of four children in the school district. Brad is a Greenville alumnus, graduate of the University of Toledo, employed at Midmark, and is motivated to ensure that our public schools provide the best possible educational experience for all students. Brad believes that strong schools are the foundation of a great community and he is very passionate about, reenergizing the BOE, listening to the community, and working with integrity for the students of Greenville Schools.
David Madden is also an outstanding leader, with 2 children in the school district and is an engineer at HEAPYwith much experience with building schools and universities. David was also a strong active leader in the k-8 campaign and he has been very committed from day one and wants to listen to the community and use his experience to bring forth strong policies. David will encourage high expectations for teaching, learning, and building strong partnerships with the city, county, local businesses, private schooling institutions and local nonprofit organizations.
All three (3) of these excellent candidates want excellence and opportunity for all children and have been a pleasure to work with. Please give them your vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Respectfully,
Rita McCans
