As a parent, taxpayer, and voter in Tim Osborn's district, I am pleased to have him as my elected representative on the Alpine School Board. He's smart. He works hard. He thinks independently. He has a spine. He knows the schools and the community. He listens when people talk to him. And he shares thousands of parents' desire for a solid, effective mathematics curriculum in every school.
He has my thanks and my vote.

Tim understands that the status quo in is unacceptable, and we need to improve public education. Furthermore, Tim knows that we have to do more with less, because our working families cannot pay more property taxes. Tim has bravely fought for these principles the last four years, and we need Tim to continue making a difference. Please join me in voting for Tim.

Tim Osborn has been a tireless advocate for "what is best for students." I believe he is doing and has done many positive things to move the district forward, including changing things when things need to be changed and continuing what is working already.
When Tim joined the school board there were many problems and divisions at various levels in the district. There are still some divisions, but Tim has worked and is still working on unifying teachers, students, parents and administrators to all work together for the good of everyone.
I truly believe that Tim is motivated not in doing what is best for the public education establishment, but in doing what is best to educate the public. This includes supporting charter schools, private schools and traditional public schools.
As an employee of the Alpine School District I know the value of strong leadership at the School Board level and whole-heartedly support Tim and his work to improve education. As a math teacher I believe we need unity and improvement within the district math programs. Tim has been a strong support of these needed changes.
Please join me and vote for Tim Osborn for Alpine School District Board.

I have known Tim for many years and have greatly enjoyed all my associations with him including working with him as a member of the Alpine School District Community Counsel. He is a clear-thinking advocate for transparency in procedure and innovative solutions. He has served the school disctrict well and will continue to do so in the future.

To all whom it may concern:
Political leadership today all too often is defined as having all the answers and the power to mandate them. Fortunately there are those who are the exception to this type of leadership—Tim Osborn is one of them. When it has come to the highly charged issues of public concern in recent years, Tim has proven to be a representative of the electorate, finding ways to introduce public concerns and input into the education of their children rather than stifle it.
While most in our day and time find power and position an irresistible combination to implement personal agendas, Tim has always made it first priority to bring public input and representation to the table of public education. He has made not only listening, but educating himself, the school board, and the administration on matters of families’ concerns for their children a matter of course. Tim has managed not only to open the door to parents in the education of their children and use of their taxpayer dollars; he has been willing to solicit, research, investigate, and apply various resources of knowledge and information rather than rely solely on his own experience and conception or the acceptance of his constituents…truly the mark of a humble servant of the community and a well-educated person.
Tim is exceptional in his willingness to stand alone in representing the public in
“Public Schools” and truly represents responsible leadership. Tim is not an established part of the system, destined to uphold its own ends; he is a common man with an uncommon ability to see and implement government as a tool responsible and responsive to its citizens and empowering them and their children rather than directing their lives for them. His is the balance between good education and controlled education.
For these reasons, we wholeheartedly support Tim Osborn for Alpine District Board of Education.
Sincerely,
Val and Cynde Laudie |

Tim is fighting for excellence in education, and he is willing to challenge old ways of thinking when it stands in the way of that.
