I am seeking your vote and support for a seat on the Chelsea School District Board of Education on Nov. 8.

With over two decades of success as a higher education faculty member and administrator, a strong record of collaboration in diverse environments, and a commitment to supporting all students in their academic, social, and emotional development, I am uniquely qualified to serve.

My collaborative approach, direct and honest style of communication, and kindness to all would be in service to all stakeholders (students, families, teachers & paraprofessionals, staff, administration, local businesses, and the Chelsea community).

My Background

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and consider my candidacy. My name is Dr. Glenn Fox, and I am seeking election to the Board of Education for Chelsea schools.

I am a father of two boys (Kush & Shiv) in Chelsea schools and am a loving husband to Dr. Aditi Fox. I direct the Anatomical Donations Program and am faculty at the University of Michigan Medical School. I am a University of Michigan (GO BLUE!) educated (Ph.D., MS., & BS.) educator and research scientist with decades of experience teaching, administration, mentoring students and employees, and building open access public resources for anatomical education.


My professional experience involves productively working with people and stakeholders of various backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives. I have a proven record of administrative success, especially in high-level curriculum coordination, curriculum design, collaborative teaching, and organizational success.


My wife and I fell in love with Chelsea and moved here for two reasons: 1) the quality of the schools & 2) we wanted to raise our children in a small town where they would benefit from a strong community. We could not imagine a better place to raise a family and I would like to invest my time and energy to help Chelsea schools and students reach their fullest potential.
