Tom Provost for Orchard Park School Board

Tom Provost for Orchard Park School Board Candidate for Orchard Park Board of Education

06/14/2023

I was happy to congratulate Mrs. Susan Stott on her retirement after 36 years of teaching tonight and to chat with her and her husband Dave. They are really nice folks and apparently she really likes ladybugs (inside info from Abby). Mrs. Stott taught all three of my kids keyboarding and technology/computers at Ellicott Elementary and taught my twins STEM this year. Unlike a lot of teachers, she taught kids in each grade at Ellicott, so she got to see her students grow from kindergarten all the way through fifth grade. Thank you Mrs. Stott for all that you did for your students over all your years of teaching! Enjoy your retirement! 🐞

8 days to Election Day!
To answer any remaining questions, please send them to Tom and Ryan through their website. They will be setting up a virtual debate, and offering the same questions to all the candidates (if they choose to participate), so that you can see their responses to the same question. Our goal is transparency, and to ensure that you know our approach is always evidence based and policy driven. No politics or partisanship. Check back at the website to submit your questions. We don't have time to answer every question between now and this Sunday, so we will have a neutral moderator select the questions that seem to come up with the greatest frequency, and a broad selection of topics.

Please remember to vote on May 17th, at the Orchard Park High School from 7 am to 9pm. Please use the Freeman road entrance. Bring your ID for proof of residency. We hope that you agree with our approach to continuing the educational excellence that has been established in Orchard Park, and will consider casting your ballot for Ryan Anderson and Tom Provost!

I am excited to introduce myself to the Orchard Park Central School District community as a candidate for the Board of Education. I am a proud product of the public schools in East Aurora and Baltimore County, Maryland. I have Bachelor of Arts in History from Pennsylvania State University and earned my law degree from the University of Pittsburgh. I worked for Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company as an Assistant Vice President before entering the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have worked for the FBI for almost 20 years investigating complex financial crimes, health care fraud, civil rights cases, and public corruption. I will be retiring from the FBI this May. My wife Karin and I have lived in Orchard Park for 13 ½ years, moving from Connecticut when our oldest was 6 months old. We were initially drawn to the area for the open spaces, excellent schools, family friendly environment and outdoor activities. We have 3 wonderful children, who are currently enrolled in the High School and at Ellicott Elementary. All three of our children have thrived in the Orchard Park schools and have consistently been assigned the right teacher for their learning style at every grade level. The excellence in teaching that our children have been the recipients of, is clear, especially as we look at our High School student. She has a strong foundation of knowledge and wealth of opportunities to explore as she is choosing her future academic path. We have no doubt that our 2 youngest children will also be similarly well prepared to chart their own paths.

Looking back over the past 13 ½ years, and the amazing education our children have received, I realized that there has been a great deal of work that has gone into the educational structure that our children have benefited from. In order to keep this level of excellence, the School Board partnership with the teachers, the administration and the community, is integral to provide the most evidence-based education to prepare our children for a global world. I feel a duty to our community to support the school system that our children are so greatly benefiting from. I have a wealth of career experience and the experience of parenting learners in this District, and I am asking for your support, to become one of the next School Board members. Together with our current School Board members, I will work to ensure the needs of our students, teachers and parents are met in a fiscally responsible manner.
Like my colleague Ryan Anderson, in addition to describing what we hope to achieve during our term on the School Board, it is important to note also what we will not do. We will not use the school board as a platform for politics, agendas, or special interests. I will not support censorship or interference with our teachers’ ability to provide our students the educational excellence they deserve. These things have no place on our Board of Education or in our schools.
As we face unprecedented challenges in preparing our students for a changing world, I hope that my life experiences and a desire to support the education system that has supported my children will earn your vote this May 17th.
