Dan Schesch, a neighborhood resident for eleven years (at 6036 McPherson), is running for a six-year term on the St. Louis Board of Education. He was the first candidate to file and his name will appear first on the ballot.
Dan is seeking this position because he believes that improving the public school system is necessary to continue the “comeback” of the city.
“Quality of education is the most important issue facing the public schools. Quality for the children already attending the public schools. and quality to attract future students and their families to live in St. Louis. It is also important to assure tax payers without children in the public school system that their tax money is being well spent,” Dan told The Paper.
Dan, employed as Personnel Manager at the St. Louis plant of Boise Cascade, Composite Can Division, feels that his eight years experience in Employee Relations has given him skills that are important to preventing future strikes so that teachers, administrators, children and parents can concentrate on the best education possible in St. Louis schools. He also has had experience as a substitute teacher in the East St. Louis Public Schools.
Dan is currently a member of the Hamilton School Advisory Board and the executive board of the Citizens Education Task Force. He was a representative to the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council for five years.
