Meet the Candidates: School Board Director Dist. 1: Mike Jacobs

Mike Jacobs, School Board Director District 1

I believe I have the background, experience, and established commitment to serve our community as a Shoreline School Board Director. During my tenure the District has achieved financial stability (from negative 2.7 million in 2006 to a positive balance of 4 million in 2010), commenced construction of two new high schools, increased high school graduation to over 90% and implemented new math and science curriculum.

My wife, Janelle, and I and our oldest child graduated from Shorewood. We have three children currently attending Shoreline schools. They are third generation Shoreline students.

I am active in the community and have received several commendations including PTA's Outstanding Advocate and the Award of Excellence from Richmond Little League.

I will work hard to ensure that our exceptional District continues to provide first-class education. My experience and commitment will be essential as we deal with the State’s recent and impending cuts to education.
