“I applaud Governor Walker‘s commitment to ensuring children in rural areas have access to the resources they need. As Superintendent, I will work with the governor and legislature to ensure all children—no matter where in the state they happen live—have great teachers, safe schools, and the most effective learning tools.”

Over the past two decades, John has effectively served in public schools across the state, as well as in the Department of Public Instruction. In his nearly twenty years in Wisconsin education, he has worked in small rural school districts (La Farge and Dodgeville), one of the wealthiest (Middleton-Cross Plains), and the district with the highest poverty rate (Beloit).
