hello Forest Lake Area residents my name is Tessa antonson I am running for one of four open seats on the Forest Lake Area School Board this fall along with three other amazing candidates all focused on four key points academic achievement for our children fiscal responsibility with spending transparency and accountability of leadership and last but certainly not least parental rights in our schools I'll work my way back up through these parental rights means that acknowledgement that the parent is the primary educator of their children and there should be no instances where our schools are keeping secrets between children and their parents transparency and accountability kind of feeds off of that parental rights but I'm also talking about where does the money go our leadership being held account accountable for what they're spending money on and the outcomes it's producing again that ties right up into fiscal responsibility we should be aware as the public who produce 21% of the schools operating budget we should know exactly where that money is going what kind of programs what are those programs producing for our kids because the academic achievement is just not cutting it we are at 50% or less for our high school students in math reading and science I have children in the middle school and elementary schools and I have looked at the past these numbers are not new from covid this has been an ongoing issue and we need to address it and soon so I look for your support your vote on November 5th or before with open voting early voting um Tessa for schoolboard.com you can also visit any of my running mates websites we have Daniel tuat Daniel for f LS board.com Laura Duru ND r a n gu4 schoolboard.com and Mark castle that's k a l campaign.org please visit our websites please share with your friends get educated on who you will be voting for for your school board I believe truly that this election is going to be very pivotal in what we can do for our school district so please consider voting for team tank I thank you
