me hands on experience in every
facet of education.
“ While serving as athletic
director of a large school district,
I had responsibility of hiring 28
teachers and coaches of 10 grade
schools, two large junior highs
and a large senior high. I also
served during several summers as
head of buildings and grounds
repair and renovation. I have also
served on four negotiation teams
and know both sides of such.”
Hiemstra continued, “ Our
schools are faced with great pro
blems, especially with Measure
5. I feel I’m qualified to help find
solutions.
Curriculum change needs at
tention,” he added. “ Many
changes come and go and many
were a waste of school district
money and teacher time. I am
qualified to help steer our district
in the right direction. Change for
change sake doesn’t make it bet
ter. Let’s get the teachers less
duties outside of the classroom
(experimenting with false con
cepts, etc., of legislators) and
provide them with the time to do
the jobs of teaching.”
