Incumbent Roger Blair faces challenger JoAnn Winski in the April 3 election for one seat open on the North Cape School District Board of Education.
The three-year position pays $850 annually.
Blair said he believes it is especially important to keep experience on the school board during these times of change.
“I am happy that we did not have to reduce teacher staff and have kept traditional class sizes,” Blair noted.
Blair said that having seen the completion of recent building improvements at North Cape School to upgrade the entrance and offices, he now looks forward to making way for continued improvements of technology applications, “all the while remaining fiscally sound and reducing debt.”
“My pledge is to continue to focus on the job of producing students with the tools to leave middle school and succeed as North Cape students do in high school,” Blair said.
Winski said she is seeking a position on the school board because she believes it is time for a change.
With two children who attended North Cape in the past and two children who now attend North Cape School, “I feel I am more in touch with the day-to-day goings on at the school and the needs of the students and staff.”
Winski said she believes one of the most pressing issues facing North Cape is the need to update the middle school curriculum to have these students better prepared for high school.
“I would like to look at offering more advanced math classes so our kids can enter high school at a higher math level,” Winski said.
Winski is a graduate of Waterford Union High School and works as a medical transcriptionist, for Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare
Winski has been a leader for Norway 4-H for 27 years; Sunday school teacher at Norway Lutheran Church for eight years; is a past Mustard Seed Preschool board member; and has been an active member of North Cape PTO for 14 years, including serving as past PTO president and currently as vice president.
