Kevin Erickson

Providing our children with a great education is critical to their
well-being and to the future of society.

I’m Kevin Erickson. Because of that conviction, I hope to continue
serving on the Ferndale School Board. As a lifelong Ferndale resident
and graduate of Ferndale schools, pride in Ferndale runs deep in my
veins. I believe our schools must be a source of pride for our entire
community.

I support parental involvement! As the father of three Ferndale
graduates, I recognize and respect the crucial role parents play in
educating their children. Parents are children’s first educators, and
our local schools need to listen to and partner with parents to build on
the education they provide.

I support safety! No student can learn, and no educator can teach, if they don’t feel safe. No parent should send their child to a school that is not safe, both physically and mentally. Safety is critical.

I support fiscal responsibility! The community is not an endless source of money. Our schools must economically graduate students ready to contribute productively to their community and their world.

I support education! The role of schools is to educate. COVID wreaked havoc on our children’s education – including their test scores.  Education does not happen in a vacuum. We must support the whole child to help them learn and make data-driven decisions to support teaching methods that get results.

Please support me! If re-elected, I will continue to work toward these goals for our children, community, and school staff.
