t • Wednesday, November 2,1994, Houston Times-Journal Page 8A Candidates, from p-sa Parker. She has one daughter, Michelle, who is a student at Georgia Southwestern, and a son, Joey, who is in the 7th grade at Perry Middle School. While Parker says the school system is a good system, she says there are "problems in the schools that need to be taken care of.” One problem she mentioned was that students who disrupt the classroom need a place to go to allow those who want to study to study. Parker also said that the board meetings needed to be changed to night to give parents and teachers a better chance to attend the meet ings. Tom Whitten Whitten said that there were four reasons that he was seeking Post 6 on the school board. "I think that we are very fortu nate in Houston County to have an excellent school system,” said Whitten. "It's not because of dissat isfaction with the education system that I am running."

He and his wife, Kimberly, have two children, Michael, who is a student at Perry Elementary, and Christopher, who is four. "I am concerned with anything that has an input into their future," he said. Whitten said that he was not coming out of the woodwork, hav ing served as PTC co-president at Perry Elementary School, and hav ing participated in several fundrais ing activities for the school. The second reason Whitten said that he was running for Post 6 was that he was "encouraged by a great number of people" to seek the school board. He said he chose Post 6 since it was the only post open to a resident of South Houston County in the coming elections. Whitten said the third reason he chose to run this year was that he was a product of public education. "I believe very strongly in the prin ciples of public education," he said. "It is a major factor that made this ■ Term limits for all members of Congress ■ Truth in sentencing to keep criminals and drug dealers off our streets ■ Workfare - not welfare ■ Protect gun ownership rights ■ Family and middle class tax cuts ■ Protect our vital agriculture and defense jobs The choice is Chambliss on November 8!

The fourth factor in Whitten's decision to run for Post 6 was that he had a leading role in the Concerned Citizens of Houston County group that tried to get the board to build one of the two new middle schools south of Highway 96. "If someone takes a position to criticize what something that someone else has been doing, he should be willing to to volunteer his services," said Whitten. Whitten noted that the county commission's budget was $22 mil lion for fiscal year 1995; but, that the school board's budget ap proached SBO million. "I feel that it is important as a parent and tax payer that these funds be spent wisely and in the best interests of our children," he said. Post 6 is an at-large post, mean ing that the entire county will vote for the post. Whitten and Parker are from Perry, while Lowery is from Warner Robins.
