  • A strong public education system is the foundation of a strong community.
  • Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. – John Dewey
  • An education is an asset that won’t ever lose value.

I believe our district is moving in a positive direction and I want to continue contributing to our progress. Over the past three years, my understanding of RCAS has grown exponentially. I bring more knowledge, experience, and perspective to the board than I did when I was newly elected. I’m deeply committed to making our schools places where every student feels welcomed and valued, where learning happens in modern, well-equipped spaces, and where high-quality instruction is the standard every day. – Jamie Clapham
