Experience in Education with a Future We Build Together

Parker, Ryan, Callahan, and Denzler will bring over 30 years of education experience to the DCSD School Board but first and foremost they are parents who believe that every child deserves a chance in the classroom.

Parker, Ryan, Callahan, and Denzler Support:

• Funding Public Education and Not Private Interests. Taxpayer money should go to public schools.
• Building Community-Powered Schools over Chaos. That means listening to students, parents and educators; communicating clearly; and being accountable to the people, not politics.
• Creating welcoming classrooms, building strong relationships, and environments free from bullying, where students can be themselves, focus, and thrive as learners

Vote for candidates who have experience in education and will bring stability back to the School Board.
