Lori Fredrics announces her write-in campaign for Park Ridge Board of Education
Following news reports of an unopposed candidacy for Park Ridge Board of Education, long-time Park Ridge resident and educator, Lori Fredrics announces her write-in campaign for Park Ridge Board of Education for this November’s election cycle. Ms. Fredrics brings decades of international experience as a performer and university-level and private music teacher, with a focus on preparing elementary and high school music and theatre students for college admissions. In her role as a university instructor, she has also trained and mentored many college students, who went on to be elementary and high school teachers. Her undergraduate degree in Music Management from William Paterson University, and Masters degree in Voice Performance from University of Texas at Austin, as well as her experience as a successful music business owner, equips her with the common-sense, practical knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions on behalf of students in the Park Ridge community.
Ms. Fredrics is a long-time resident of Park Ridge, her family having moved to this community in 1971, and is a 1983 graduate of Park Ridge High School. She believes the quality of education received here, as well as the sense of community she experienced in Park Ridge, was instrumental in her career success. She is dedicated to making sure that current and future students in the Park Ridge School system have the same excellent head start that she had when they go out into the world to pursue their goals, both in higher education and in their careers.
Ms. Fredrics believes that her respect of and support for our teachers’ knowledge of what works best in the classroom for a diverse student body, while also bringing her own proven ideas for educational success to the table, will make her an ideal partner for our valued teaching staff and parents, thus ensuring that the high quality of Park Ridge education is preserved and enhanced, and in direct contrast to her opponent’s stated plan to slash funding for essential educational services, including cutting competitive salaries needed to retain the best personnel.
Ms. Fredrics has also promised to maintain Park Ridge schools as an independent district, and as a welcoming and nurturing place for students from all walks of life, one where students are taught respect for one another. She believes that the Park Ridge system is one of the crown jewels of our town and a great attraction to families who move here. She is duly mindful of the fact that property values in Park Ridge are directly tied to the quality of our schools, and she is prepared to fight to defend that quality of education which we enjoy as a community, now and into the future.
