Dear Painesville City Residents'

My name is Ada Jones and I am seeking your support in the November 8,2011 Election to become your voice on the Painesville City Local Board of Education.
The Painesville City School buildings are to be envied by any district in Ohio. They are the state of the art in design and building quality. these factors are just the start of the work needed to become one of Ohio's top rated schools. I am asking you to make me your number one choice for the Painesville Local school Board of Education.
I have spent many years working in the city of Painesville to help improve the quality of life for all people. My two children began their education at St. Clair Elementary School. I supported my children in their classroom learning, in sports, P.T.A. and put my efforts to work wherever there was a need. My years of employment and volunteer service speak for itself. I enjoyed serving this community and hope you will allow me the opportunity to serve once more as an administrative decision maker, helping map the next phase of the Painesville City Local Schools.
The demographic make up of Painesville City has many challenges. The voter registration count for all precincts as of June 7, 2011 is 9,796 eligible voters {Lake County Board of Elections}. The greatest complicating factors are the make up status of the voters and 1,630 unconfirmed voters. The demographics that affect the school system are,1.8% are separated, 29.7% have never been married, 12.5% are divorced, 7.3% are widowed {2010 Census Report for Painesville City},48.6% married. Adding 9.2%or 1,761 Latino Americans, our highly mobile citizens. These are the factors used to establish the schools' report cards. My goal is to help reshape the community into a partnership, one that will build a safety net around every child, school, and staff where there is a shared vision for success! Developing a community where every child can dream, and help make those dreams come true.
In closing, together we can continue to improve and build a stronger school district that will further enhance our children's future!

Thank you,
Ada M. Jones
