Rick Zelinsky for Avoca District 37 School Board

I am an experienced school board member having served two terms including holding the position of Board Vice President since 2014. I am the only candidate (and existing board member) from Northfield as well as the only non-current parent of the candidates running (our district tax payers are more than 75% non-parents).

My three priorities for this board term are:
- 1) Providing oversight and support in the execution of the strategic plan through experience
- 2) Enhancing communication and connectedness (with both parent and non-parent communities)
- 3) Maintaining long-term fiscal discipline including addressing Avoca Center (the district's current surplus building)
