Hello!
My name is Nathan, and I am a candidate for the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District Board of Education.
In this school district, we expect excellence. We lead the way.
I want to help build on that promise.
I am a proud parent of two children in the district, and a member of the Thirteen Year Club (IHHS Class of '97). My parents were teachers, and I am involved in higher education as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati. In my day job, I use my background as an attorney to protect public health and the environment, and to promote good public policy.
I love our Indian Hill schools, and I will work every day to make them even better for our students, families, staff and community members.
I will work to:
Ensure the physical safety and mental well-being of students and staff;
Enable every student to reach their potential;
Engage with the community;
Enhance the environmental sustainability of district facilities and operations;
Promote a culture of respect and inclusivity;
Prepare our students for careers both at home and abroad;
Practice financial responsibility; and
Plant the seeds for future generations of success.
I will be a Board member for everyone, and I will listen to you. I would be honored to have your support when you vote this fall.
Sincerely,
Nathan Alley
