VOTE FOR CRISTINA ELSEN...WEST BLOOMFIELD SCHOOLS..BOARD OF ED.

Cristina Elsen...November 4th-Board of Education election...West Bloomfield Schools

I’m supporting Cristina Elsen for the West Bloomfield Schools’ Board of Education election on November 4th. As a resident and a former principal in West Bloomfield. I understand the importance of having extremely competent and sensitive people on our Board.

Cristina is a model of integrity. She is focused on creating a district culture where families will choose to stay and where new families will choose to move-in. Cristina knows that increased enrollment is one of the answers to our budget crisis in West Bloomfield.

Recently, the Board has talked about adding a S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Program to at least one of our elementary schools. Cristina has been advocating for this program and will be a driving force on the Board to make it a reality. We need her voice!

Her degree of Master of Arts in Public Service and Urban Administration from Marquette University provides the background in finance and service that we need. An office manager and medical biller for a large clinic gives Cristina the knowledge and experience of managing finances and people. We need her skills.

We need board members, like Cristina, who are strong analytical thinkers and independent. Additionally, I know that Cristina is heavily involved in supporting students of all ages across our district. I’m voting for Cristina Elsen for West Bloomfield School’s Board of Education. I hope you do too.
