Spotlight on Ed Brey, Sheboygan Falls School Board Candidate

Republican Party of Sheboygan County Presents:
Roger Oliver for SASD School Board Candidate
Representing Areas Inside the City of Sheboygan
Roger Oliver is running for the SASD school board because 60 percent of SASD students do not currently have grade-level language and math skills. Roger’s goal is to focus schools on academics–reading, writing, and math skills–to equip students to be successful in their personal and professional lives.
Initiatives
Increase academic performance in language, math, and science. Student academic performance has declined as radical ideology studies have replaced practical language and math classes. Academic performance standards have been relaxed to obfuscate the declining student performance and need to be restored to provide consistent annual assessments and gauge the effectiveness of the curriculum.
- Education must focus on verbal and numeric skills to teach children how to think and analyze.
- Schools need to reward teachers who apply creativity in teaching and produce high student academic results.
- Schools need to be transparent with parents and taxpayers about the programs they are funding to ensure they do not conflict with family values. Funding needs to reach the classroom.
- Parents have the sole responsibility for raising their children, and schools need to listen to parents. Parents need to communicate with the teachers and support their children’s studies at home.
Increased emphasis on acceptable student behavior. Students want appropriate behavior from fellow classmates to enable focus and learning. Schools need to define and enforce acceptable standards. Parents need to be responsible for the discipline of their children and to support the school’s rules and procedures.
Steps Roger would take. Conduct a community values and vision survey for the school district, followed by a review of the district’s goals. Then, set measurable 3 to 5-year goals to improve student academic performance and share goals with taxpayers. The school board should then work with the school superintendent to measure progress against goals and take corrective action where indicated. Increased funding should be contingent upon the achievement of established academic goals.
Roger Oliver is a retired Army Infantry officer. He earned a BS from Cal Poly, an MBA from Syracuse University, and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. Roger and his wife, Marcy, lived and worked in Puebla, Mexico, for 20 years, where they founded a private K-12 learning center and are still involved in its administration, funding, and teaching. The Olivers moved to Sheboygan in 2021 because they had friends and family in Sheboygan and family in Kenosha. Their two adult children followed them to Sheboygan in 2022, and now both teach in the SASD.For as long as they have lived in Sheboygan, Roger and Marcy have been volunteer mentors with Great Marriages, where they counsel mostly Spanish-speaking couples because both Marcy and Roger are fluent in Spanish.Roger and Marcy are rooted in Sheboygan and plan to remain in Sheboygan permanently.
