"I serve because my core belief is that all children deserve a good and equitable public education. I believe our children ought to have the best we can give them — our best thinking, quality instruction and well-built, safe and inviting schools. I serve because I have passion for education, and I have a responsibility to be the difference in the lives of children. It is my civic and moral duty."
~Donald M. Wade
