About Tessa 4 School Board
After 28 years as a Registered Nurse advocating for patients, I am turning that passion towards advocating for not only my own children but You the taxpayer, Your children, Grandchildren and the Teachers in our community. The last 4 years have been hard for everyone and the Minnesota Department of Education testing scores show that our kids continue to suffer academically. To add further insult, there is no money to throw at the problem so further sacrifices must be made.. You have likely seen the Reimagine plan for 2025 that clearly shows the basics of funding and expenditures which are respectively, State sources and Staff wages / benefits. How did we get here? Was it solely the pandemic crisis? Could the budget have been managed more responsibly? Could there have been better long-term planning and foresight? What exactly is the immediate plan of action to get our kids back on track? I'm not convinced numerous mandates and programs like Achievement and Integration are going to get us out of the deep well into which we have fallen. I have been a resident of Columbus since 2012. My husband and I plan to continue raising our three boys in this community and I am determined to do what I can to support a measurable turnaround to this situation in our collective community. Our kids, residents and teachers deserve a Board who will represent them, ask
the inconvenient questions, challenge the status quo and work to make this school district a highlight for both current and prospective residents, not a reason to leave.
