Greenville City School Board has three open positions that will be on the November 5th ballot, and five candidates are hoping for your vote. One of my three votes will go to Brad Gettinger.
Brad and his wife Susan are the parents of four wonderful children, three of which are currently in Greenville City Schools, and their youngest will start Kindergarten in 2015. Brad graduated from Greenville High School in 1990, having participated in school sports, achieved a Bachelor’s Degree in chemistry from Toledo University, and chose to return to his hometown to raise a family. He is employed at Midmark, coaches two of his children’s soccer teams, attends Greenville football games and wrestling matches to watch his oldest son compete, and is actively involved in his church, Bible Fellowship.
Brad is one of the most sincere, dedicated, involved, and invested individuals I know, and I can't think of any person who is better qualified to represent the best interests of our students and our community. Since Brad is married to one of my sisters, I happen to have the opportunity to know him well, and I can truly say that he has my greatest respect.
Please join me in giving one of your votes for Greenville City School Board to Brad Gettinger. He is a terrific example of the quality of student we want our schools to produce, and he will be a trusted guiding force on our school board.
