“As parents, nothing is more precious than our children.  For most of us, the quality of the education they receive is of paramount importance. Tom Griggs will bring his decades of experience in the field of education to his job as the representative for District D. Tom has spent decades as a university professor, an ESL specialist, a policy advocate at the State level, a guest professor abroad and myriad other educational experiences. He is currently enjoying spending time in our PSD classrooms to hone his skills. This is a high-level job where EXPERIENCE MATTERS.  As a former member of the Poudre School District Board of Education, I would have treasured an opportunity to work with Tom—an educator of sterling caliber.  I strongly recommend Tom Griggs to represent District D and the district as a whole.”

"Leadership is behavior that joins experience and initiative to accomplish goals. Investors trust Warren Buffett because of his financial experience. Passengers trust Sullenberger because his flight experience saved lives in the Hudson River landing. Experience counts, especially when the risks are high!

Given that families and students continue to be at-risk for direct and indirect effects of consolidation and closure initiatives, we need an experienced educator on the Poudre School District Board. As a longtime resident of Fort Collins, Dr. Tom Griggs knows the community, understands how national and state issues affect local programming, and has the determination necessary to address controversial issues.

I support Tom for District D board membership because his experience in K-12 systems, university-level teaching and scholarship, and as an international consultant all provide solid bases for making Board decisions."

“I've known Tom for many years. His dedication to and service in public education makes him by far the best candidate for the Poudre School District Board of Education. He will listen to you, his constituents, and will stand up against out-of-state influences that are contrary to the best interests of the children.”

"I have known Tom for over 20 years. He is a kind, involved and dedicated community member, and he understands our communities’ needs as they relate to our schools better than most. These attributes and more will make him a valuable contributing member of the Poudre School District Board of Education."

“I’ve known Tom Griggs for decades as an Ed advocate and teacher and endorse him for a seat on the PSD Board of Education. He is an experienced classroom teacher who knows what it’s like to be closest to the students, and also understands how state and national education policies impact the district.

A bilingual voice from the classroom that includes thirty-five years of service, a community activist that supports education and environmental issues, and a teacher of teachers, Tom Griggs, for me, is the best choice from District D for a seat on the PSD Board.”
