5 South Washington County Schools Keith Jacobus, Ph.D., Superintendent District Service Center 7362 E. Point Douglas Rd. S. Cottage Grove, MN Phone: Fax: Dear Prospective School Board Candidate: Thank you for your interest in the South Washington County School Board. Serving as a School Board member is one of the most important responsibilities that a citizen can undertake. If elected, the educational standards that you establish, with your fellow Board members, will affect the future of the students and the community. Being a board member is a complex and varied position, and often is frustrating as you struggle long hours with difficult choices. However, it is also rewarding as you watch students succeed and go on to lead productive lives as the result of educational opportunities you helped to create. There are certain implications in being responsible for the entire district that you may want to consider. Decisions need to reflect what is in the best interest of all students and all citizens. This demands a constant effort and strong commitment to serving other people. Effective school board members share a number of common characteristics, but it's important to realize they did not become effective the instant they were elected. Many qualities are acquired through experience and are important to consider: a conviction that public education is important; the ability to make decisions; loyalty to the democratic process; time and energy to devote to board business; the ability to accept the will of the majority; respect for district staff and; the ability to communicate well with others. A typical month in the life of a School Board member will involve many hours. There is a minimum of two School Board meetings per month. In addition to those meetings, there are special meetings, committee meetings, buildings visits, event appearances - and the list goes on. We applaud your interest in the School Board and thank you for your willingness to devote your talents and time to meeting these challenges. The materials enclosed have been prepared for your benefit. Please read through the information. If you are interested in filing for the School Board, please complete the Affidavit of Candidacy form. Bring the completed form to the District Service Center, located at 7362 E. Point Douglas Rd. S., Cottage Grove, MN 55016, to have it notarized (bring a picture ID). There is a $2 filing fee that will be due at the time of submission. If you have any questions about the School Board, please don t hesitate to call me or my assistant, Dayna Bentdahl, at for a phone conversation or to schedule an appointment. I wish you good fortune in your campaign. Sincerely, Keith Jacobus Superintendent of Schools We are committed to igniting a passion for lifelong learning. 3
