Why am I running?

As I consider the opportunities I would have as a potential school board member, three words come to my mind: challenges, collaboration and courage.

Frequently I am asked the question “Why do you want to run for the school board?” I’m clearly aware of the challenges we face with growth in population and the financial needs with which we must deal and come up with creative solutions. We can face those challenges with confidence if we function within the framework of collaboration. The quote, "we don’t have it all together, but together, we have it all" is reflective of what we must have to move forward. Both the challenges and collaboration will take courage. I have it!

I invite you to sign up for one of the coffees listed on my website at charlenearmitage.com/coffee.html. I would enjoy getting to know you and sharing the excitement I have to serve our community as a member of the Liberty School Board.

Remember, April 7, which is election day is during Liberty's Spring Break. If you plan to be out of town, be sure to vote early by absentee ballot. Get more information and a ballot request form here.

Two words...

Two words describe our experiences of the last few days: momentum and consensus!

Momentum continues to build as the campaign team focuses on making certain every Liberty School District patron is aware of my vision and passion to make a difference in the life of each student in the district.

Additionally, there is 100% consensus within the team that we must give the stakeholders a variety of opportunities to personally visit with me, ask questions and gain clarity on my vision for the district. Be sure to visit charlenearmitage.com to learn more about the opportunities and my vision.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome! Thank you for visiting my blog. I look forward to using this blog to connect with you and create a space for dialogue as I run for Liberty School Board.

I’ll be updating the blog a couple of times each week, going into deeper explanation of my vision for the Liberty school district and sharing experiences I have along the way. I encourage you to use the “comments” area to ask questions or leave your thoughts and to forward this blog to your friends who have an interest in the future of the Liberty school district.

Also, if you haven’t already, visit http://www.charlenearmitage.com/ for more information about me and more opportunities we have to connect during the campaign.
