Bringing steady, experienced leadership to Eastern Carver County Schools.
These past four years have represented a time of significant change and challenge for our district. But they’ve also been marked by hard work, creative problem solving, and incredible wins. I’m inspired by what’s possible for our learners, grateful to those who dedicate their lives to our communities, and energized by the opportunity to continue building a world-class, destination district here in Eastern Carver County Schools. It would be my honor to continue to serve as a member of the Board, and I ask for your vote of confidence on or before November 5!
For the past four years as an Eastern Carver County School Board member, I have led with…
RESPECT
…for the professional training and expertise of our teachers and staff
…for ideological differences and unique perspectives of community members
…for all learners, who each deserve a quality educational experience
…for efforts of leadership, including past and present School Board members
INTEGRITY
…to communicate with transparency, honesty, and sincerity
…to take responsibility for and ownership of decisions and their consequences
…to take seriously my moral obligation as a steward of taxpayer resources
…to maintain a commitment to responsiveness, adaptation, and humility
OPTIMISM
…in believing that our district’s best days are visible on the horizon
…in assuming good faith and best intentions of all community members
…in focusing on solving problems, not dwelling on past mistakes
…in maintaining that our learners’ incredible potential should inspire us all
If reelected, for the next four years I will bring to the role…
CONTINUITY
We’ve experienced turnover in several key leadership roles across the district recently. With those new, capable leaders in place, I will bring continuity in school board leadership that is vital for maintaining consistent policies, seeing long-term initiatives through, and building on established relationships.
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
For me, diligent oversight of educational policies, budgets, and student and staff welfare means responsible decision-making, attention to detail, and alignment with long-term goals. Conscientiousness means transparency, accountability, and prioritizing the best interests of students, teachers, and the community.
COMMUNICATION
Effective communication is essential to ensure transparency, facilitate collaboration, and promote clear understanding of policies and decisions. I am committed to explaining complex issues, listening actively to diverse perspectives, and actively working to champion and advocate for our learners, educators, staff, and families.
Where I Stand
It’s a consequential time in our world, and that’s certainly reflected in our schools. While the work of a school board member requires both breadth and depth of understanding, I’ve identified several issues as areas of focus to respond to our immediate needs.
Consistent Investment in Our Schools
“Wealth of Experience”
Angela’s wealth of experience in education will be a breath of fresh air in the district. She is knowledgeable, charismatic, a skillful collaborator, and the list goes on. I’m excited to vote in support of her in November!
– David Lachman, Chaska
“Does Her Research”
Her interest and concern in public schools is unchallenged, and she would lend a fair-minded, supportive communicator to your community. She does her research on topics and concerns, and brings an inclusive approach to the challenges in schools today.
– Kip Johnson, Retired Educator
“Advocate for Children”
Eastern Carver County Schools needs Angela Erickson’s leadership, educational expertise, and financial acumen on the school board. You won’t find a more dedicated community member and parent to advocate for our children and our educators!
