I believe
in our public school system. Graduates of our public schools
should be prepared for life and career. Excellent schools are
essential to the economic health and vitality of our
communities. The focus and direction of our Vancouver School
District needs to serve our students through programs and
curriculum that prepare our students for their future – which is
the future of our community. I have 3 daughters who have
graduated from Vancouver schools and 1 daughter who currently
attends Columbia River High School. My wife is a teacher in the
Vancouver School District. From my perspective as a husband,
father, business manager, and community member I want to help
plot the course of the Vancouver School District as it continues
to navigate in the direction that is in agreement with the
teachers, students, parents, and community members and their
shared vision and hope for the future of our public schools. I
would like to see transparency and accountability continue to be
a part of the activities of the school board as well as active
participation with the community the school board is privileged
to serve.
I am a
Spokane, WA native, who enjoyed spending summers working for a
local Vancouver company until moving to Vancouver after
graduation from high school in 1985. I currently serve as
Landscape Maintenance Manager at Frontier Landscaping, Inc. I
have actively engaged in the Vancouver community through my
participation in the Clark College Horticultural/Agricultural
Advisory Committee 2007-Present; Washington Association of
Landscape Professionals (WALP) – SW Chapter Secretary 2007,
Community Service Committee Chair 2008, Certified Landscape
Technician – PLANET Certification Program Judge 2004-Present;
City of Vancouver Urban Forestry Committee “Think Before You
Top” Campaign 2009. I have volunteered as a coach for the
Eisenhower Soccer Club for many years and I periodically serve
in the Vancouver School District as a Classroom Volunteer – a
privilege I have enjoyed since 1999.
Thanks for your
interest and support in my campaign! I hope to earn your vote!
Chris Peppers
