$216,337,588

That's a lot of money. It's also the 2025 expected expenditures from the Ogden School District.

The school board's role is to provide for public education and effectively use our public funds to accomplish that goal.

My financial background as a CPA gives me the specific skills and insight to ensure that we put that money to use in the best ways. Creativity and challenging the status quo is needed to protect your money that is in the school district's accounts.

Take a minute to learn what the school board is and what it does. You are choosing someone to direct nearly 1 billion dollars during their term-where it will go and how that will help educate our children. Choose wisely!

Why John?

John Peterson and Eric Hall are in reality very similar, and are friends. Both would serve well on the school board. The differences John brings are a strong CPA financial background, 25+ years of proven service and leadership in non-profits in our community, and the integrity, creativity and understanding to represent the taxpayers, students, teachers and families. We've got great candidates, but take the time to learn more.

We think John represents a great opportunity that will have a noticeable impact on our public education in Ogden!
