I support Brian Kirschling for Iowa City school board. He is outstanding father, an exceptional physician and president of the City High Alumni Association to City High students. He is well-suited to become a board member as an Iowa City native, a champion of innovative educational ideas and dedicated supporter of the Iowa City community.
He recalls a time when it did not matter where a student went to school within the Iowa City surrounding area; a student of the district was guaranteed to have access to a top-notch education. He is committed to making this a reality again and supports equality among school facilities, curriculum and activities to ensure all students have access to a safe, stimulating and rewarding learning environment.
Further, he seeks to promote diversity in the classroom and maximize educational opportunities for students through innovative educational programs and infrastructure. He will honestly listen and consider the educational concerns, needs and wishes of the Iowa City community, because he believes that parents' involvement in the schools and educational process is integral to children's success.
