My name is Todd Brown, and I am a current D38 board member. While I can speak only for myself and not the board in any way, I will say that I feel my time on the board has been incredibly productive and rewarding, in large part because of the strong partnership and value alignment between the board, the D38 administrative team, and the community.
I am writing to express my support for Ginger Schaaf in the upcoming election for District 3 of the Board of Education. I first met Ginger when their family joined the same Scout troop as my boys, and I quickly saw how eager they all were to get involved. Since moving here, Ginger and her family have consistently shown a genuine commitment to our community. They chose D38 as the place to raise their children with intention and love for what makes this district so special, and now they are choosing to deepen that commitment with Ginger serving on the School Board.
From my conversations with Ginger and from observing her character, I believe she will be an excellent addition to our team. Ginger shares the values that guide the current Board and administration, and I am confident she will work collaboratively to keep our positive momentum. Internal conflict would only distract from progress, and I know Ginger will be the kind of leader who focuses on what truly matters—with no other agenda—doing what’s best for our kids, ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere that provides for the best possible outcomes for them, and being wise stewards of our taxpayer resources.
For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly support Ginger Schaaf for the D38 School Board seat, and I encourage you to do the same.
