Phi and I will send the following letter to the editor of the University Register in the next few days.

At the election on Tuesday, 7th November you will have the opportunity to vote for members of the Morris Area School Board. We would encourage you to cast your vote for Eric Buchanan and Lory Lemke.

Both Eric and Lory have experience as professional educators; Eric has taught high school mathematics and Lory has taught philosophy here at UMM. With this experience they know what it is to be at the sharp end of the educational process and can bring that understanding to the Board. Both men also volunteer time within the Morris Area School District, providing enrichment opportunities for children at both elementary and secondary levels.

The Buchanan and Lemke families both have children in the Morris public schools. Any decisions they make as school board members will affect their families directly and not just be about “other people’s children”.

The entire UMM community has a vested interest in the outcome of this election, as the quality of the local schools has a powerful impact on our ability to recruit and retain excellent faculty and staff. We believe that both Eric and Lory will make excellent board members, with a strong emphasis on educational excellence and extra curricular enrichment.

Please vote Tuesday, 7th November 2006.
