Ron Shriner's endorsement for Amy Austin for School Board

Ron Shriner

Retired Principal, West Lafayette Jr./Sr. High School

Over many years of service as both a teacher and administrator in WLCSC, Amy Austin is among the very best board members that I have known. Most recently I have been impressed with her professional approach as board president. Amy will ask tough questions, but always speaks and acts with great respect for all voices in the school community. Amy is an effective member and president because she guides the board to fulfill its central purpose to develop relevant district policies and work effectively with the district administration. Mrs. Austin has consistently improved as a member by participating in ISBA school board trainings and has developed relationships at the state level with the IDOE and legislature, none of it required, but all beneficial to WLCSC. I endorse Mrs. Austin’s desire to continue to serve WLCSC students, families, and staff. She is in it for the right reasons and our great schools will continue to thrive with Amy’s continued service on the board.
