I am pleased to announce that I will be running for reelection this November (2019).  This is the end of my four-year term. I hope to serve for another four years before I am termed out. 

This year, there will be two seats on the LPS Board of for election. I an running to retain my seat.  The other Board member whose term is up (Jim Stephens) will not be running for re-election. That means there will be an open seat during this election.  There are several candidates registered with the Secretary of State for this election.

During this summer I hope to meet with parents and other constituents as I prepare to actively campaign this fall. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to talk about the good work LPS has done these past four years and the plans for future accomplishments. Send me an email to robert@robertrforeducation.com and we can get together. 

I am very proud of what LPS and the Board have accomplished over the past four year. Board members never accomplish things alone, only as a group. So, the credit for these accomplishments is shared with the entire Board, Brian Ewert the Superintendent, and all of the dedicated teachers and staff within the district. A couple of highlights:

1.  Supporting the long-term investment in the districts capital infrastructure with the $300 million bond passed by LPS voters in 2018.

2.  Moving to weekly late starts to make planning easier for families and support teachers as the work to serve all students using professional learning communities. 

3.  Changing our secondary start times to fit with recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. 

4.  Affirming that “All means All” when it comes to students that are welcome and supported in LPS schools. 

​5.  Making the the school choice process (starting in fall 2019) easier for parents by instituting random lotteries for open enrollment instead of first-come first-served.  I look forward to talking more about these accomplishments.

I am proud and thrilled to serve on the LPS Board. We choiced into Littleton Public Schools when my daughter entered pre-school and moved to Littleton two years later. My children are currently enrolled in two LPS high schools.

Prior to being on the Board, I volunteered on a School Accountability Committee, the District Accountability Committee, Financial Advisory Committee, and the District Safety and Mental Health Advisory Committee.  I am deeply vested in the future success of LPS schools on a personal level.

Now, I want to continue my support of this great community.  With four years of Board experience, knowledge of education policy, and an actively engaged parent, I have the experience, knowledge and ability to help continue the improvement of our schools.   

I have worked to continuously improve our schools by recognizing the district’s successes, identifying key challenges facing the district, and collaborating to advance our district.  

I want to meet you and your neighbors to learn what you think about our schools and LPS. E-mail and let me know when I can drop by to introduce myself to you and your neighbors
