DROST: A VOICE FOR OUR CHILDREN

Editors Note: The views and opinions expressed in this editorial are not necessarily the views or opinions of Oskaloosa News.

As a former science teacher in Oskaloosa for many years, I support Carl Drost for school board.

Carl and I served together on the school board for six years. We were on opposite sides of many votes on many issues. But I can say without reservation that Carl was and is a terrific board member.

K-12 education should be grounded in what parents want for their children. The experts say this and the experts say that. The politicians weigh in. The know-it-alls shout and demand. Sometimes it is very hard to sort it all out. Carl has the intelligence, principles, experience and common sense needed for wise decisions.

Carl Drost is a voice for our children that needs to be heard.
