Please re-elect Harry Ainsworth to the Multnomah Education Service District Board of Directors.
During the past eight years as a member of the Board of Directors of MESD, I have continuously advocated for the children of Multnomah County by lobbying the legislature for adequate funding for our schools, informing local school districts of the valuable services provided by MESD, advocating for the continuation of Outdoor School and ensuring that MESD provides effective programs in a cost effective manner.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
In order to be able to measure the accomplishments of MESD's alternative education program, I spearheaded an effort to track students' post graduation performance. This effort is now in its fourth year and is proving to be a useful tool in evaluating the performance of these programs.
I co-presented a seminar highlighting MESD's successful and innovative use of the Linux computer operating system at a national conference. MESD has been able to save tens of thousands of dollars in computer software licensing fees for local school districts through this program.
I have supported MESD's successful Medicare reimbursement program. A program that has brought millions of dollars of funds to Oregon school districts.
I have represented MESD on the Board of Directors of the Children's Land Trust, an organization dedicated to providing a campus for the provision of social services to children and families.
Please vote to re-elect me. You may contact me at (503) 417-0476 with any question.
