To the patrons of Deer Creek School District

Thank you for your consideration of me as a Deer Creek School Board Member. We are very fortunate to live in a school district that consistently ranks as one of the best school districts in the state. Fortunate, yes, but also challenging. The location of our school district along with our academic ranking has brought growth in student population that will continue to challenge the high standards of our district.

No longer is it good enough to consider Deer Creek a small school district with great test scores. Our sights must be set on the future to guarantee current and next generation students continue to receive the best education in the state. A growing district means fewer dollars per student are available in comparison to a non-growth district. And yet our challenge will be to provide infrastructure and curriculum that will continue to give our students the best education available.

Constant growth is the future of Deer Creek Schools and we must learn to accept and embrace that growth. We should work with property owners and developers to ensure we have neighborhood schools more closely located to our students. We must better plan for schools that will accommodate our growing student population. Required and elective curriculum must address the needs of current and future students and better prepare them for college and life vocations. These are the real challenges we face as a growing school district.

Your school district is in the business of education. And, as in any business, the district’s success depends on its leaders. My experience with all types of businesses, board membership within the construction industry and home owners, and my communications expertise will be an asset to the school board and district. I will bring strong leadership to the board and will insist that our administration and faculty also provide the strong leadership and management skills necessary for a growing district. As your board member I will focus on long term planning for the district along with immediate improvements that can be made with administration, faculty, and curriculum.

Please vote on February 13th, and thank you again for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Greg Biggs
