Cathy Olshefski for Pickerington Board of Education

The Platform

Committed

Cathy and Randy have lived in Pickerington for 22 years. Their son Will (22 years old) is a Pickerington graduate and soon to be Ohio State University graduate. With 8 years of prior School Board service AND leading approximately 10 funding drives prior to that, Cathy has seen how strongly Pickerington citizens, voters and taxpayers have voted in support of the goal of excellence in education. Their joint commitment has produced one of the top-rated educational systems. Cathy's goal is to return to the Board and continue this journey on the path of excellence.

Conservative

In an era of endless ideas, schemes, plans, programs and change, Cathy has kept true to a philosophy of concern for individual students and the best possible preparation for them in the classroom. As a result, Cathy earned the respect and cooperation of teachers, administrators and her fellow citizens. Additionally, her voting record while on the Board of Education highlights her sound financial decision making.

Caring

Cathy's top priority has always been the students of Pickerington Schools. Our schools consistently have prepared our kids for flourishing, productive lives as contributing citizens. She believes every student from kindergarten through high school graduation deserves the best we can provide them.
