Re-Elect
Sam Hughes for Elmbrook school Board
Why am I running for Re-election?
“Elmbrook is an incredibly strong school district that needs strong Leaders with experience in both the world of Education and running a large organization. I bring both strong and decisive Leadership with a heart for the children in public education. Over the next few years, the Elmbrook school board will be making strategic and important decisions that will impact the members of the community, the teachers and staff at Elmbrook, and the students that attend everyday.
Once I am re-elected, I will ensure that fiscally conservative decisions are made to help Elmbrook remain financially strong without having to ask the taxpayers for more money. I will look for ways to reduce un-necessary technology in the elementary classrooms and technology distractions in the Middle Schools and High Schools. I will clear distractions for the Teachers and Administration so we can improve our academic performance. I also see opportunity for teachers to receive more support, especially within the Special Needs classrooms.”

As Your Next Elmbrook At-Large School Board Member
As your current Elmbrook At-Large School Board Member, I will continue to work for greater Trust, Truth, and Transparency from our school district’s administrators, for you, our community stakeholders. They
work for YOU – and I will, too.
As your Elected Representative, I will continue to work tirelessly to make the business of the school district and the school board more simple to understand, easier to attend and observe, and more accountable to you, our district’s primary stakeholders. Your private wealth, in the form of tax revenue, provides the majority (nearly $75 million) of our district’s annual funding of over $133 million.
I believe that our exceptional community deserves:
- Better Student Academic Outcomes
- Renewed Focus on Core Subjects: Literacy, Math, and Science
- Truly Personalized Special Education Services
- Greater Respect for Parent Values and Rights
- Smaller Classes and Lower Student / Teacher Ratios
- More Opportunities for Vocational Trades
I bring 21 years of successful business experience, building trust through strong relationships, delivering on promises, stewarding complex budgets, and managing financial strategies. I am skilled at developing practical solutions to a variety of problems, and I am always fully accountable to my clients and stakeholders. With your vote on April 7th, I will continue to put my skills, experience, and values to work for you as your Elmbrook School Board Member.
