Tri-Lakes is a great place to live! We have wonderful neighbors, a sense of community, and terrific schools. We are all passionate about protecting our “small town” regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum. But whether people want to believe it, part of what makes this area so wonderful is our history of conservative values and voting. Ginger Schaaf, a dedicated conservative candidate running for the School Board, is an exceptional choice to represent our families and students and continue the legacy of D38 being a great place to live.
Ginger’s platform prioritizes the safety and well-being of our children, particularly through her advocacy for safe spaces for girls in our schools. Some will speculate that because she wants to protect our girls, this means she will discriminate against others. Ginger understands the importance of creating environments where all students feel secure and respected. Her commitment to protecting all students demonstrates her focus on fostering a positive and inclusive educational experience.
Ginger supports charter schools, keeping our taxes low, and parent involvement. She deeply cares about our teachers and will voraciously petition to get money from the state to support them. She comes from a family of service. As a military spouse, she’s traveled the world, where she has seen schools and districts, both good and bad, from which she draws invaluable firsthand experience. This knowledge will serve her well in D38, bringing new and fresh ideas to the table.
I urge the residents of Monument to support Ginger in the upcoming School Board election. Her vision, integrity, and dedication to our students and community make her the ideal candidate to help shape the future of our schools.
