With the election only days away, it was an honor to receive a letter of endorsement from a very respected member of the Lansing Community who also dedicated many years working for USD 469. Local Elections matter, please make it a point to get out and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4th!!!
I support Jeff Bollin’s candidacy for the USD 469 Board of Education. His service is strongly rooted in his deep and proven commitment to the district, demonstrated through his extensive involvement and understanding of its operations. Having dedicated his time and effort to the BOE, he brings a level of institutional knowledge that is invaluable for navigating the complex decisions facing the district. His experience includes advocating for sound fiscal policies, high academic standards, and a supportive learning environment for every student. This continuous service shows a genuine, long-term investment in the success and future of USD 469.
One of Jeff's greatest strengths is his ability to strike a crucial balance between the needs and perspectives of the community, parents, and educators. As a community member and parent, he inherently understands the concerns of families—from classroom sizes and curriculum to extracurricular activities and communication. Crucially, his work with the BOE has also given him insight into the professional needs and challenges faced by teachers and administrators. This comprehensive view allows him to make well-rounded decisions that are not only fiscally responsible and academically rigorous but also take into account the practical realities and diverse interests of all USD 469 stakeholders. This balanced approach is essential for fostering collaboration and unity within the district.
The greatest thing you can do for our local district is get out and vote in our local elections. They matter! When you do, please consider voting for Jeff Bollin.
