Pole Feels 'Committed' to Success of MRH School District

The Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education will welcome two new members to its ranks in April. Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch asked both to respond to several questions about themselves and their plans for that role in an e-mail interview.

Reponses from Julie Pole appear here. Responses from Alex Hogue will be posted at a later time.

• Where do you live (city within St. Louis): Richmond Heights

• What is your current job and/or political office? Assistant director, Alumni Relations, Washington University School of Law

• Why did you decide to run? Because I feel very committed to the success of the school district.

•  What do you think you can bring to this position or office?  A perspective that sees the value of our real estate investments, the safety of our neighborhoods and the success of our community directly linked to the progress and results achieved in our school district.

• Please tell us about one goal you have for this position or office.  I hope to become an integral part of the continued financial and educational success of the district.

• What other thoughts would you like to share with our readers about your upcoming term on the board? I look forward to learning and contributing a great deal and want to express my gratitude to the other school board members who have served before me and with whom I will serve now.
