What Makes a Qualified Candidate?

What makes a qualified candidate?

Qualifications are not subjective. You either have them or you don’t. So, what qualifications should a candidate for school board have?

The only positions more important than school administration are parents and teachers. School boards shape fiscal and educational policies. They determine not only what your children learn and how they learn it, but how resources are provided for that education. The first responsibility of any school board is fiscal responsibility. Without money there are no teachers, no schools, and no resources. If a school board is running a multi-million dollar budget deficit, then something is clearly not working and a new perspective is needed.

Electing candidates and supporting incumbents who maintain the status quo and refuse to change patterns of irresponsible spending behaviors need to be told by parents and other concerned voters that they are failing. What is the best way to do that? Elect a new candidate!

The most qualified candidate should be passionate about helping children, forward-thinking about improvements and methodologies, innovative about new approaches to resolve stagnation, and above all, know what works and what doesn’t from a real world perspective.

Plano ISD needs a candidate like Steve Navarre. He is impassioned about improving the districts ratings, processes and educational opportunities because he has children in the district. His experience in the IT industry is a testament to his forward-thinking and innovation because he knows what it means to solve problems dealing with millions of dollars in resources and plan for the future. And, he is knowledgeable about business decision-making and knows that the best intentions are not enough if it means failure.

The children of Plano ISD deserve someone dedicated to the betterment of their schools. They deserve more than the status quo that has resulted in a $17 million dollar budget shortfall that will further degrade their educational options. They deserve a candidate who is not looking for another feather in their cap. They deserve a candidate not looking to toot his own horn shouting, “look at everything I do.” Instead, they deserve a true business leader with real business experience. They deserve someone who will standing up and say that Plano ISD needs to make a change. They deserve Steve Navarre.

And that is why...I’D VOTE FOR STEVE!!!
