THE ROYALTON POST -- October 1, 2011

Zindroski would bring her experience to the board

To the Editor:
In less than two months, voters will be selecting two candidates from a group of seven people campaigning for the North Royalton school board.
Every election raises questions regarding the qualifications of candidates. Office seekers will make all kinds of promises and pledges. How does a voter determine which of the seven will be a viable board member and serve in the best interest of the community? It is important that voters see through campaign literature and newspaper ads by exploring the qualities of all the candidates. When they do this, one highly qualified person, Barb Zindroski, will emerge as a very good candidate.
Zindroski belongs on the board for several reasons. She is a certified high school teacher with 35 years of teaching experience. As an educator, she improved the dental hygienist training program at Normandy High School with no additional cost to the taxpayers. She is a bright and articulate individual who possesses both an undergraduate and a master's degree.
As a former member of the North Royalton school board, she had worked diligently to elicit and publicize the schools financial information. Voters have a right to know what transpires at school board meetings, especially the board's work sessions. With this knowledge, voters will have the awareness needed to make educated decisions in the voting booth. An informed voter is a nightmare for feckless politicians.
She will work hard on behalf of North Royalton schools. At the same time, she will also represent the taxpaying property owners who underwrite the cost of operating the schools. In an era of scarce resources, this is an important attribute. Barb Zindroski will not lose sight of the goal of providing the community with a top-notch school system at the lowest, reasonable cost. She is an excellent candidate who deserves to be elected.
