Howard Metz for District 112 Board

Howard Metz has demonstrated the skills necessary to meet the challenges facing District 112.

The challenges facing our next District 112 school board are well known.  We need to ensure that highly qualified candidates are elected.  Incumbent Howard Metz has demonstrated the skills necessary to meet these challenges.

Howard has the experience, knowledge and drive to make the best decisions for our community.  As a partner in a law firm, Howard specializes in advising school districts (District 112 and 113 are not clients).  Howard has also experienced the district as a parent through several different schools due, in part, to the special needs of his daughter.  As an incumbent, he has no learning curve to understand our urgent needs or the proper roles and responsibilities of the board.  It is these qualities that earned Howard another endorsement by the District 112 Caucus.

I have gotten to know Howard during my many experiences with the district. I am a member of the Strategic Planning Committee, the Superintendent’s Finance/Facilities Committee and a board member of several local nonprofits.  Many school districts pay for Howard’s expertise and perspective.  We need to continue to receive these attributes for free. Please vote for Howard Metz for District 112 Board.
