I have been actively involved with the school district both within the school and engaging in key projects that are more district wide. This has given me the opportunity to develop many relationships with parents, teachers, district personnel and board members. Having been so involved, I should be able to quickly get up to speed if elected to the Board. I also really enjoy coaching soccer and working to foster a love of the game with our community youth.
Leadership
As a business owner with 20 locations in 7 states, being a leader is a necessity. I was also chair of the bond campaign to build the high school and improve our facilities and curriculum. In addition, I was VP for SYSC and currently manage the youth development program for Westside Timbers in Sherwood. All of this leadership experience has allowed me to learn the importance of listening. If elected, I will make decisions based on hearing out stakeholders on both sides of an issue. Then I will gather as much information as I can to make a decision that is, bottom line, best for our children’s education. I have no hidden agenda and don’t want to see politics in our school system. As it has been the past 7 years of service in supporting our schools and community, I want the best for our kids to give them the greatest opportunity for their future.
I hope to have your support and vote. Thank you.

We have lived here for 23 years. Our kids graduated from Sherwood High School. We are, and should be, proud of our schools. Sherwood has: One of the top graduation rates in the state. More college credit courses than any other district in Oregon. Award-winning arts programs, which were maintained during tough budget times. A dual Spanish/English immersion program at Hawks View Elementary. Some of the most extensive career and technical education programs in Oregon, helping students explore careers in construction, welding, health care and more.

Having a strong school district is good for our kids, our families, and our community. We still have work to do. Our kids are back in our buildings, on our sports fi elds and in our performance spaces. We have new investments in lower class sizes, new programs, and better mental health services. We have an opportunity to come back to a new and better world, where we do a better job of recognizing the rich diversity of our community, and do a better job of meeting every student’s needs.

It is important to provide all YC students with learning opportunities to achieve the knowledge and skills needed upon graduation to be successful in their future and be able to pursue a successful career path beyond K-12 education. Therefore, curriculum and instruction are critical pieces of a school district focus. In addition, fi nancial stability provides a district with the ability to ensure a strong curriculum and instructional staff. Budget and fi nance together is the economic engine that supports the success of a school and school district. I believe when a school district has a healthy fi nancial portfolio, the students, parents, and community members in turn support the schools. My varied and unique experiences allow me to have a deep understanding of the nuances and workings of a board. As a resident of CARLTON, I feel it is important for the town to have representation. Many of the board members are from Yamhill, and we need both towns represented. My experience, skills, and knowledge would be a continued asset to the board. I would like to continue to be part of the school district team. Information furnished by Jami L Egland The above information has not been verifi ed for accuracy by the county.

By working together, with our Fire District, we can handle these emergencies. But I’m concerned about recent decisions. Here’s what’s been going on: • In 2018 our District explored an arrangement with Dallas, S.W. Polk (Rickreall), and West Valley (Willamina) Fire Districts to share administrative costs and consolidate resources. • This agreement was fi nalized in 2019, without Dallas. • Shared leadership pushed the districts to consolidate. • According to the District’s 2019-2020 auditor, Sheridan serves as a banker for the other districts’ purchases - a material weakness in District fi nancial controls. • Sheridan’s funds and assets are diffi cult to keep track of between districts. • Emergencies in our District covered by McMinnville while our equipment was in another district or unstaffed. • A slim majority of the board put consolidation on the ballot in November, without West Valley. Were you consulted in a meaningful way before this important decision? Sharing leadership and administrative staff with neighboring districts probably makes sense, while keeping funds and assets separate. We need to aggressively grow the volunteer fi refi ghter ranks. And I believe this consolidation might not be right for our community. Certainly not so fast; this decision should be made intentionally and thoughtfully, in step with the community. We need to do what’s right for our community. I’m asking for your vote, to push to slow down this consolidation, work with the community, and truly consider and make decisions to effi ciently and effectively serve all of us.

Chapter 3 of the Special Districts Association of Oregon “Special District Board Member Handbook” states the following: “Effective boards become known as effective because they operate in an organizational environment of trust, honesty and openness. These boards exhibit, as a team, the following characteristics: • All board members are perceived to be equally legitimate – no matter how different or diffi cult an individual may be. • The board strives to maintain a “no secrets, no surprises” operating norm. • The board recognizes and accepts that confl icts and differences are inevitable, not necessarily “bad,” and must be faced and analyzed. • The effective board tends to immediately turn to solutions rather than playing the “gotcha” game. • The effective board treats all community members with dignity and respect, even in the face of criticism and opposition. • The effective board exhibits creative thinking, knows how to handle failure as well as success, encourages risk taking and creates a climate of support for excellence. • The effective board assumes collective responsibility for the conduct, behavior and effectiveness of the board.” If this how you as a member of our community would like to see the Sheridan Fire District operate, then please vote for John Stanislaw Jr. Information furnished by John Stanislaw Jr The above information has not been verifi ed for accuracy by the county.

My past experience in helping to develop the Chehalem Cultural Center and the new Aquatic Facility led me to my current position on the board and my experience in nonprofi t executive leadership has aided me in this role. Over the last four years I have been excited to see CPRD’s continued focus on the variety of sports programs offered, the campground on 219, extending the trail system, improvements to Bob & Crystal Rilee Park, the development of the Sanders Estate Park in Dundee, and the improvements to the playgrounds at our elementary schools. If re-elected, I would also like to see greater attention paid to equity, succession planning, staff advancement and cooperation between partner organizations.
