Two for tomorrow

The time, money, and dedication so many people give to our schools today are an investment in tomorrow: a successful tomorrow for the students, and a prosperous tomorrow for Marietta.

When it comes to building a successful education outcome here, no one is without responsibility: the students must study; the teachers must skillfully guide; the staff must create a supportive environment; the administration must facilitate and oversee; the school board must hire, fire, and set policy; and voters must wisely choose school board members and decide funding levels.

By Nov. 2, it is up to the voters to elect a new school board team that will meet the challenge of creating that “successful tomorrow.”

John Lehman has led many teams of employees to successful startups of new businesses.

He served on the board of Washington State Community College and on the Marietta College Leadership Council.

John’s goal is to help Marietta City Schools achieve demonstrable excellence– both in academics and in other areas.

Ethan Vessels, a West Point grad and Army officer, now practices law in Marietta. Ethan’s goal is to focus the board of education’s activities tightly on the goal of measurably improving the school system’s academic performance, especially in Language Arts and Math.

Our schools need wise, experienced, and energetic leadership. For Marietta City Schools Board of Education, vote for John Lehman and Ethan Vessels.
