Larry Canning would be an excellent addition to the Board. Tremendous work ethic and is a graduate of BHSD 228. These are type of people we need to represent out District. To this day, Larry Canning is involved with student/athletes at Hillcrest High School.

Larry Canning is a class act and will represent our district PROUDLY!!

Respectfully

David Braden
Hillcrest Teacher

it would be nice to hear his views on the present activities of this board. How about the waiver we asked for because we failed to make AYP. Also when can I transfer to OFHS because my school is failing. What about this thing called Physics First my kid went through it and it was a waste of time, now he can't take a real physics course because his schedule is full.

Thanks, Pattie. You are too kind. 228 will be back on top, and people will be proud to live in the district. At least that is my goal.

I couldn't agree more with Elliot. It's people like Deb Stearns, mad with power, who need to be voted out. This woman had me fired because I spoke of concerns about out-of-district students going to 228. She's gotta go!!!

I cringe every time I hear Debi Stearns open her mouth, she does not inspire confidence. I am dumfounded that she is president of a board that oversees $90 Million.

Now that we know Deb Stearns is remaining on the ballot, please help vote her out.

She is petty and vindictive and should not be governing in any capacity.

You should look into Mr. Canning's previous business history before you intrust the future of our children to him.

Deb Stearns should not remain on the school board. She has no idea what a close meeting is or the law on close meetings! Looked at MR. Canning Education. Ms. Stearns has no work history. Ask why she was let go by OFPD? Maybe a freedom of information would show why!
