GERRY MEANEY
OCCUPATION: Retired
OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Retired Lieutenant Colonel, US Army; Retired Financial Analyst, Bonneville Power Administration
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: Portland State University; Bachelor of Science
PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Precinct Committee Person; 47th District; Elected May 2010.
I had two children that attended Reynolds High. I currently have three grandchildren in Reynolds from elementary, middle school and into High school next year. As a representative of the voters I will insure that parents and voters have a voice on the board, be informed on issues impacting the District and every economical option is explored to maintain a high quality of education. I believe that today's job skills are dependent on education and training which start here.
This is what I stand for:
- Support teachers and faculty to meet and exceed educational standards.
- Understand and find solutions to the drop out rate and raise low test scores.
- Review budgets finding ways to keep quality education at affordable costs, voter input and insure transparency of board meetings.
- Insure that children being treated for disabilities during class room time are not left behind.
I have heard from parents, teachers, voters about education concerns, being accountable and responsive and managing our resources within budgets. It is our responsibility to prepare our students going onto higher education as well as those going into the work force. I'm a concerned parent and citizen wanting to make a difference.
I'm asking for your support and vote. Gerry Meaney.
