SIMMONS FOR SCHOOL BOARD

Looking after our kids, our teachers, and our community



ABOUT

E-mail me at andrewsimmons1101@gmail.com, or fill out the form on the Contact
page if you'd be willing to put up a sign, have some suggestions, or want to
meet for a coffee to discuss what is important to you in our schools.  Go
Rockets!

I was born and raised in South Milwaukee, just like my dad, and my children will
be able to say the same. I am proud to have taught Math at SMHS from 2011-2015,
to have coached wrestling from 2007-2017, and to actively coach multiple youth
sports. My career at Omnigo Software is spent creating training courses for
police and security, with over 23,000 officers completing my various training
courses. Outside of work my family stays active working out, biking, reading,
and walking the dogs.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME

 * Teacher Shortages:  Teacher retention and teacher shortages affect us all.
   This isn't a future problem; it is a now problem. Want better student
   behavior? Higher test scores? Happier kids? Better future workforce?  Hire,
   develop, respect, and retain effective educators.



 * Student Achievement:  The district is on the right track in combating chronic
   absenteeism by emphasizing attendance this year, but we can push harder by
   ensuring age-appropriate curriculum, an ecological approach to learning, and
   strong language and number sense before middle and high school. It is also
   time we address the brain/body connection; we offer poor food choices and
   give kids less than sufficient time to move. 



 * Student Involvement and Community Engagement:  Students quickly become
   non-students. How does the school system prepare students to be affective
   members of society?  We need to continually work to create good people, good
   choices, and good plans. College/Military/Workforce used to be the only
   option, but the world is changing fast and students need to understand their
   choices early and be involved in the decision-making process.
