OROL: John Collins 1997

Candidate for ORSD School Board 1997

John Collins Lee, NH

See what other voters have to say about John Collins.

I am 43, married, with three young children. The oldest is in second grade at Mast Way School; the other two are headed that way. My spouse is working towards a Ph.D. in bioinformatics at UNH and volunteers weekly at Mast Way. My goal as a school board member will be to maintain educational excellence in the Oyster River schools. At the same time, as a home owner in Lee, I recognize the need to squeeze maximum educational benefit from each tax dollar.

education:

• B.A., Molecular Biology, Colgate University
• Ph.D., Genetics, University of Wisconsin

occupation:

• Associate Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, UNH. 1988 - present.

community:

• ORYA soccer and T-ball coach, three years
• volunteer for Otters swim team
• regular volunteer at Mast Way for Parent's Night Out and playground work crew.

Major Issues

• Space needs at the high school must be dealt with immediately
• Information technology (computers/internet access/teacher training)
• Teacher evaluation and assessment
• Communication among schools and between parents and teachers
• class size

Priorities

• Quality education for every student will be my first priority
• Efficient use of every tax dollar will guide my decisions
• I will strive to improve our schools rather than maintain the status quo
