Father of four in 2004

By Kenn Clifton

I'm a father of 4 children and I'm running for the Rosedale School Board. I'm asking you to Vote for me KENN CLIFTON on November 2, when we elect the President Of The United States. I am going door to door to ask for your vote and to let you know who I am. I have lived in the Rosedale district for over 30 years and attended Rosedale Union School and North High. I have served my country in the United States Army for three years working on the Patriot Missiles Program. For the last 15 years I have worked as an Instrumentation Tech and Electrician. I have children in Kindergarten, Second grade, Fourth grade and Sixth grade and I know that I have the best interests of the children to be the next Rosedale School Board member for this District.

Every candidate wants the best education for our children, but there is more that makes up a school district than this. I also believe that while academics are our most important concern, athletics, art, music, safety and a positive school environment must not be left out.

One of my concerns is the State Standards set for our children. Each child is different and learns at a different rate than others. I would like to see this improved to insure that they are being taught at their level, not at what is determined by the state. I see this first hand by having four children that are following the same curriculum but are not learning it at the same rate. Other issues of concern are the PTC programs, the overcrowding of our schools, and the loss of playground space.

What I am hoping to achieve by becoming a board member is to be a voice for the children, to insure the best education as well as the most fulfilling education experience.

I would appreciate any questions or comments 589-0196 or by email kclifton2@bak.rr.com
