I'm eager to provide our school board with a new perspective! As the father of three children in the district receiving different levels of support, I'm directly invested in our schools. I want to see all our children in this district thrive amid our current unique challenges. There's so much opportunity for them, as long as we have a board willing to provide it!

Our schools need fresh direction, not detached leadership from a decade ago. The pandemic has highlighted the need for flexible learning in a safe environment. I support diversity and equity in the classroom and at the district level.

I know the work that goes into being a school board member. I’ve served on community boards for years, most recently as the chair of Carnation's Planning Board. My experience as a healthcare regulatory attorney has also shown me how policy impacts people. Vote Ron Lundeen.

Public service supporting students and families is one of my core values. As I run for re-election; gratitude and respect come to mind. Respect for all school district employees, from custodians to the Superintendent, all student voices, and all families navigating through major educational decisions for their children. Riverview has weathered some challenging times these past few years, with student deaths, a global pandemic and has done so as each decision focused to support students, staff, and family members.

Many decisions are made by the state and public health to keep our students and staff safe and healthy. Other decisions were local; am honored, and proud to be part of those decisions. Thanks to all who shared their voices with the board.

My passion and experience in learning, training and certification design and development provide the leadership skills to move forward. I ask for your vote and continued support. Oviatt4schoolboard.com
