Eric Fjone for Festus R-6 School Board

08/04/2022

Update: neither City Hall or Public Works has them.

While I am sure it was a friend with good intentions, I went out the day after the election to grab my signs and a lot of them are missing (approx. 10). Please let me know if you have them and I will be more than happy to stop by and grab them from you. Thanks in advance!

Over the last 90+ days I have been asking for your votes, or in other words, interviewing to be a member of your School Board. So, I thought I would provide you with some interviewee type of information.

- I have lead many teams in my professional career and my own business. I am a Servant Leader and know my position is to listen, understand, and help make important decisions. Decisions that I would never ask someone else to fulfill unless I would be willing to fulfill or do the work myself.

- Over the course of my career I have successfully managed multiple P&Ls, up to $12M

- I listen to understand, not to respond.

- I work best in a team environment where, whether we as a team agree or not, we work together to find the best solution.

- I love asking for help and advice from experts and then working together to create a plan/program from that advice.

- I value others’ perspectives and approach situations with an open mind.

I appreciate your vote!

I am greatly appreciative for all of the support shown to me. If elected to school board my highest priority will always be what’s best for our children, teachers, school, and our community, not a political party.

Most of the candidates participated in the interviews for Festus School Board and it was great hearing them on KJFF this morning.

I recorded the interviews (mine and others) on my phone. The file of my interview is too large to share on here but I believe I can share it via Messenger.

If you didn’t get a chance to listen and would like to hear, please comment or reach out via Messenger, text, or email and I will send it to you.

A family member, who is a teacher, shared this. It is well worth 16 minutes of your time if you want to better understand what teachers go through and how much teaching has changed over the years. Teaching is so much more than curriculum.

This is very timely as Festus prepares to open its early childhood development center.
