Judy Rosenberg Hansen for Washington Local Board of Education

It is time to bring respect and decorum back to the Washington Local Board of Education in Lucas County, Ohio. Too much controversy and unrest within the Washington Local Schools community has gone on for far too long. Because there is now a vacancy on the school board, an opportunity exists to bring honesty of purpose to replace the pandemonium that has plagued Washington Local Schools for the past three years. Judy Rosenberg Hansen would be an excellent choice to be on the five member Washington Local Board of Education.

If you recall, I had previously written about Patrick Hickey back on December 27, 2015 when I published the Roland Hansen Commentary entitled Patrick Hickey. Toledo, Ohio: Washington Local School District. Superintendent. Saga, Legacy, Scandal, Shame? and again on February 18, 2016 when I published the Roland Hansen Commentary entitled Toledo, Ohio: Washington Local Board of Education; Patrick Hickey, Superintendent; Washington Local School District. Embarrassment. Scandal. Shame.

It was not long after Patrick Hickey reluctantly and involuntarily vacated the Superintendent position of Lucas County, Ohio's Washington Local Schools in December 2015 that he proclaimed he would run for election to be one of the five members of the Washington Local Board of Education.

And in 2017, run for election he did! And won! More controversy ensued as Patrick Hickey had been banned from school property.

And the controversy continued as Patrick Hickey attended his first school board meeting in January 2018 as a member of the Washington Local Board of Education.

The departure of Patrick Hickey from the Washington Local Board of Education creates a vacancy. As such, the remaining four elected Members of the Board are charged by state statutes of the Ohio Revised Code with the authority and responsibility to appoint a replacement to the seat formerly held by Patrick Hickey.

Judy Rosenberg Hansen would be an excellent replacement to this seat on the Washington Local School Board.

Judy Rosenberg Hansen's previous related experience includes having been elected to three 4-year terms for a total of 12 years on the Governing Board of Lucas County Educational Service Center, now known as the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West and formerly known as the Lucas County Board of Education. The Washington Local School District is one of the several school districts that lie within the service area and jurisdiction of the Educational Service Center to which Judy had been previously elected to its Governing Board and on which she also served some periods of time as its Vice President and President.

In addition to having served 12 years on the Governing Board of Lucas County Educational Service Center, Judy also served 8 years on the Penta Career Center Board of Education. Penta Career Center is a public vocational high school and adult education center, not unlike Washington Local Schools Whitmer Career and Technology Center.

During her years of service on the Governing Board of Lucas County Educational Service Center and on the Penta Career Center Board of Education, Judy Rosenberg Hansen was also an active member of the Ohio School Board Association, the National School Board Association, and the Association of Educational Service Agencies.

With integrity, honesty of purpose, dedication of service to public education, commitment to community, and a proven track record of experience, Judy Rosenberg Hansen would definitely be an excellent choice for, and an asset to, the Washington Local Board of Education.
