To the citizens of Linton and Stockton Township,

As Linton-Stockton School Corporation (LSSC) retired and former teachers and staff, we have always cared deeply for our school system and its students. We have seen firsthand how classified employees play a vital role in supporting our students through their educational journey. We have great hope for the future of our school system and the direction it needs to go and grow.

The upcoming school board race provides the Linton-Stockton community with an opportunity to choose representatives that will oversee that direction and future planning for our schools. The school board requires conscientious, knowledgeable, considerate leaders willing to serve the best interests of all stakeholders, including students, community members, parents, teachers, staff and administration.

For that reason, we retired and former teachers and staff of Linton-Stockton School Corporation are endorsing Jared Albright for the Linton-Stockton Board of School Trustees in District 1.

Jared’s priorities are to communicate effectively and offer clarity and transparency when presenting information to the public and to collaborate with other board members to ensure all decisions take into account the best interests of all stakeholders with the well-being of our students as the primary focus. His intentions are to support an educational system that provides a safe environment for the intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of every child.

Jared and his wife, Brittney, are lifelong residents of Linton; both attended and graduated from Linton-Stockton School Corporation. They have three children: Carson, Aedrie and Evie. Carson and Aedrie are current LSSC students and Evie will attend LSSC next fall.

Jared graduated from Indiana University and currently serves as the operations manager for a business consulting firm. His long track record of community service, broad business experience in a number of industries and willingness to listen and learn make him an excellent choice to represent his community as a member of the Linton-Stockton Board of School Trustees.

Please join us in supporting Jared because our students deserve a board member who will champion our public school system and work hard to get education right for every student.

Signed,

Retired and former teachers and staff of LSSC,
