Deb Vaughn - Candidate for Director at Large - Springville Community School District
My name is Deb Vaughn and I am a candidate for Springville School Board.
Springville has been my home for more than 40 years. I am a graduate of Springville and my four siblings followed suit.
My daughter Jeanette was a 1995 graduate and my son Paul a 2003 graduate of Springville High School. Currently, I have four children attending Springville High School. Melanie and Harriett are both 17 and seniors. Dana is 16 and he is a sophomore. Sydney is 15 and she is a freshman.
My roots in, and ties to the community and the school are deep and strong. All of my children have been and are very active in all the things that this district has to offer, from speech to sports to music.
Fiscal responsibility is an important aspect of the Directors responsibility. I am grounded, and realistic, and my several years on the City Council have taught me much about budgets vs reality.
Kids are the promise of tomorrow and we have the responsibility of shaping that promise. I believe in the youth, and in the wealth of good things that come from being part of a small town school and community.
I would work hard to promote a sense of pride and accomplishment, to cultivate the old fashioned idea of "School spirit" and to be an advocate for the children, but also for their parents.
I sincerely believe that the benefits of a small school education are unmatched and I hope that one day the legislature realizes the backward thinking that forced so much consolidation to take place over the last 30 years.
As a Director for the Springville District, I would make every effort to be a voice for the taxpayers, and the students.
