Megan Reed for Granville

• Wife, mother, sister and business owner

• Private practice: Wholesome Health, Newark, Ohio

Why I am running for Granville Exempted Village School Board:

* My professional experience as a Certified Nurse Practitioner has given me valuable insight regarding the mental health of students and adults. Our schools need to be free of bullying, discrimination and anxiety causing stressors. Since the mental well-being of our students and staff is vital, my knowledge and skill set will be an asset to the district in this area.

* The last two income tax levies demonstrate that many people in Granville are confused or do not have a clear picture of the financial status of our school district. Our stakeholders need convenient ways to learn about how our tax dollars are being spent so everyone has confidence that the future will bring continued academic excellence.

* Curriculum transparency allows parents to partner with teachers in the growth of their children. We need to continue this practice and provide our tremendous staff the needed resources to follow state and local standards, assuring parents have this information as well.
