My name is Tammy Menzie and I am seeking re-election to the Board of Education. I have been a member of this community for more than 40 years. I am a proud Byron Bergen graduate (Class of 1984). My husband, Jerry (Class of 1981), and I remained in this community to raise our 6 children. Our youngest is a member of the Class of 2020. I have attended numerous events over the past 25 years as a BB parent and have volunteered my time over the years helping students and teachers. I have chaperoned numerous trips, been a Girl Scout leader for several years and helped support sports teams and clubs. Even though our youngest is graduating, I plan to attend future events and look forward to the time when my granddaughter enrolls as a BB student.

I am a High School Spanish teacher of 32 years and have witnessed (as a parent and a teacher) so many changes that have happened in our state with education. I am an avid learner and a true believer that education changes lives. I hope our students graduate with a strong passion for learning.  I’d like to ensure that our District continues to find cost-effective ways to offer students as many opportunities as possible.

My goal as a school Board member is to ensure that our district is doing what is best for our students. The school district and all of our community organizations have come together during the current world-wide health crisis  to help our Byron Bergen families. I have served on the School Board for the past 6 years. I hope to serve another 3 years. Thank you for your consideration.
