While it is education that drives Terry Ellis to seek the position of school board member, it is not education as usual.  Ellis knows that our school system cannot be content merely to graduate students.  As a community we must ensure our children are prepared to face the future.  Upon graduating from the Washington county school system, our children should be capable and prepared to enter the workforce or move on to a higher level of education.  Ellis is committed to making sure Washington County schools have done everything possible to help our children succeed.

As a father of three children, each of whom is graduated with high honors from Washington County schools,  Terry Ellis knows the stakes involved with education.  It isn't a theoretical conversation, It's real life.  Terry Ellis truly believes that our children deserve a clean, safe and structured school environment which provides an excellent educational experience. Each one of us wants our children to move ahead in life.  We want our schools to be the best.

Working twenty-five years with WestPoint Home, Ellis knows the importance of possessing usable jobs skills in a highly competitive, global market.  No longer do Washington county students merely have to compete for jobs locally, they must vie for jobs with young people across the globe. Their job training is based on the skills learned in public school.  Terry Ellis wants to introduce new curricula and utilize existing resources to train specific skills relating to technical, mechanical and medical career opportunities.

As general manager of two facilities for WestPoint Home.  Ellis manages a workforce of close to six hundred people.  Ellis works with budgets, manages capital projects, and is responsible for long-term planning. These skills are needed to tackle the challenges facing our school district.  The tremendous potential growth in the south end of the county and budgetary constraints must be addressed.  Terry Ellis is the candidate that brings the depth of knowledge and experience that can make Washington county schools excel everyday.  Please vote for and re-elect Terry Ellis on Aug. 24th.
