School board election

Brett Barnes:

Here is a short bio and an explanation of why I would like to serve on the board.

Knowing we wanted that small-town feel and sense of community for our family; my wife (Jennifer), two sons (Caden & Logan), and I moved to Mount Vernon from Mitchell in 2017. I have been employed at Innovative Systems since 2007 and enjoy a variety of outdoor & athletic activities. Whether it’s the shooting range, softball diamonds at Caldwell, fishing the rocks or by boat with the family & friends, or hunting west river, there is a good chance you’ll find me outdoors.

I am looking to serve on the Mount Vernon School Board for several reasons; to give back to a community & school district that has welcomed us with open arms since Day One, to be an advocate for both tradition and positive change for our children, faculty, community, and district, and to set an example for my sons on civic responsibility and how to appropriately advocate for and impact change.

 

Thanks,

 

Brett
