Debra Gold, St. Joseph
I write in support of Peter Hamerlinck for St. Cloud School Board. During his previous school-board service, Peter chaired the board’s Legislative Action Committee. This committee develops the board’s legislative platform each year and works to help local legislators understand and support that platform. I served as a community representative on that committee and saw first-hand how much Peter accomplished. He spent time in the schools listening to teachers, students and administrators so he truly understood the most important needs of the district’s students. He invited legislators into the school so they understood the district’s priorities. Peter’s ability to work with legislators on both sides of the aisle was impressive, and he helped gain a great deal of support for our schools.
Peter cares deeply about District 742 and its students. His experiences and his willingness to listen and learn are just what we need on the St. Cloud Area School Board. Please join me in voting for Peter Hamerlinck on Nov. 8.
