WSJ Endorses Rick Thomas

WSJ Endorse Thomas for Seat 3

Rick Thomas has run a successful business.
He understands the importance of serving customers. He has made decisions about which employees, equipment and services he can afford and which he can't afford.

He also understands and appreciates schools. He has been a substitute teacher and a volunteer tutor. He is a father with a son in elementary school.

His concern for Madison schools, enlightened by his business sense, would make him a valuable addition to the School Board.

He proposes more cost-benefit analyses to weed out unsuccessful programs.

He also proposes to improve discipline in the classrooms to create an environment more conducive to learning.

In addition, he wants the School Board and administration to be more open to parents' ideas and to more partnerships with parents, businesses and community organizations, as well as more involvement by the schools in the community, particularly through student public service projects.
