GUEST ON THE BILL AND RANDY PODCAST
Our special guest is Ryan J. Reece, candidate for the Fenton Area Public Schools Board of Education!
Ever wonder what school board members actually do and how their decisions impact our schools, students, and community?
In this episode, we sit down with Ryan to learn more about the responsibilities of a school board member, why he's running, and how he hopes to make a difference if elected.
Ryan J. Reece is a candidate for the Fenton Area Public Schools Board of Education in Fenton, Michigan, where he currently serves following his appointment in 2025.
In this episode of Spotlight on the Candidate, Reece discusses the two Politician’s Creed articles most meaningful to him: the Public Servant and Protecting the Vulnerable. He connects those principles to public education and the responsibility to serve every student, especially those who need additional support.
Reece also explains how his work as an emergency physician influences his approach to school-board service, including listening carefully, working through difficult problems, finding common ground, and making decisions based on evidence.
The conversation covers declining enrollment, school-of-choice competition, academic achievement, early childhood education, student intervention and enrichment, career and skilled-trades preparation, and the appropriate use of technology in the classroom. Reece also discusses teacher compensation, workplace culture, administrative support, and the importance of retaining experienced educators.
Throughout the interview, Reece emphasizes thoughtful governance, community engagement, and the school board’s responsibility to ask questions, review data, set direction, and make measured decisions on behalf of students, families, teachers, and the broader Fenton community.
