Gusman Won't Seek Re-Election to School Board

School Board member Dave Gusman will not seek a third term on the Strongsville Board of Education.

Calling it a "self-imposed term limit," Gusman said his eight years on the board are enough.

"After two terms, I've accomplished the majority of my original goals," he said. "It's time for someone else to step up and take a leadership role."

His seat is  this November. Board members Ruth Brickley and Carl Naso have both filed petitions to run for new four-year terms.

Gusman said he will serve until the end of December, when his term expires.

He said he is proud of the board's accomplishments during his term of service.

"In the eight years I've been on the board, we've enacted a number of changes, including replacing every single principal and all the senior administrators," he said. "We've also initiated a number of cost-saving measures and are operating in the black."
