MARK FREDRICK

CANDIDATE FOR

ACTIVE TEACHER SEAT ON THE STRS BOARD

.

Mark Fredrick is an active classroom English teacher who has taught for 25 years in the Cleveland Municipal Schools and provides leadership for students and colleagues in solving problems. He understands the drain of charter schools on public education, the results of the NCLB Act, and legal issues concerning retirement. Mark has the background in economics and accounting to assist the Board in budget planning, with attention to line items and review of contracts and documents. As an English teacher, he brings practical experience and the ability to handle the heavy reading workload that challenges new Board members. With his background and experience he will hit the ground running.

In addition to his dynamic thinking approach for problem solving, Mark displays a remarkable ability to connect with his constituency. An independent thinker, he welcomes interaction with the membership as his only influence, and hails the ORC 3307.15 (putting the interests of the STRS membership above all else) as the SOLE mission for Board members. Mark is determined to see that integrity and trust are restored to the STRS. Holding himself accountable, he invites the membership to scrutinize all his actions as a member of the STRS Board.

Also endorsed by the OFT, CORE feels this candidate will come to the Board well prepared and informed on the history of misspending at the STRS and the issues he will face as a Board member. He strongly favors securing your future retirement and health care. Mark Fredrick is not bound by any organization's politics or agenda. Please help keep the STRS independent with Board members who represent YOU, as dictated by law and not the influence of a particular organization.

Only actives, inactives and disability retirees may vote in this election. Ballots will be mailed in early April, to be returned by early May. Please “Mark” April 11 on your calendar. When your ballot arrives near that date, Mark Fredrick’s name will be there as a reminder to vote for him.
