Grant Public Schools Board of Education Candidate

Let me introduce myself, my name is Gerald Evans. I have been a resident of this community since 2006.
Last year I went to several Grant Public School Board of Education meetings and met with Brett Zuver, Superintendent of the Grant Public Schools.
I went because for years I have watched our high schools children suffer so severely because they were not ready for upper levels of education. The problem is getting worse every year.
I graduated from high school in 1965 to work 60 hours a week on an assembly line to pay for my education as I went to community college. I started writing software in 1968, enlisted in the army in 1970. I worked as a system analyst as I ran the co-op program in a medium size pipeline company. This is when I started noticing the problems our young adults were having. When I retired from software in 2001 (Y2K) I began to teach at Grand Valley State University and later at ITT Tech. While at ITT Tech I was the IT Curriculum Representative for the Midwest (Chicago) region using my Software Engineering experience. I was successful in reworking many of the classes negotiating with the New York, Georgia and California regions. After new management took over ITT Tech I went to Ferris State University.
I have worked in medical research, medical business systems, lead a group of electrical engineers modifying both of the Ford Louisville truck plant assembly lines, managed the research and development, and designed the automation of some hydroelectric plants.
Today I would like to help our children to get ready for their future:
Please vote for me in November: Gerald Evans for a two-year term on Grant Public School Board of Education.
