Candidate Q&A ~ Michael Motis

Monday, May 7 2012 at 8:15pm by Bill 1 Comment »

#1
I am currently a territory finance manager for John Deere Financial, serving all the dealerships in Nebraska and portions of Kansas. Prior to this I was a regional manager for a livestock construction and equipment manufacturing company. I enjoy sports, hunting, fishing and camping with my family. Graduated from UNL with a degree in Animal Science and Ag Marketing. I am married, my wife Brenda and I have four children attending Fillmore Central, Thane, Caroline, Gatlin and Travien.

#2
I would like to serve my community and school district. I think my past involvement with other organizations and my work experience allows me to bring a great perspective to the board. I supervised over $100 million in construction projects during my tenure at Hog Slat. I feel I can easily work with others and can see both sides of an issue. I think I am fair and can make decisions based on what I believe is in the best interest of the students and the school district.

#3
I think that there were many aspects of the project that had a great deal of merit, however I am not convinced that an all or nothing approach is the best strategy.

#4
Currently the Pledge of Allegiance is conducted at the middle school and I have no problem with it being implemented throughout our school system.

#5
I would like to ensure that all students graduating from Fillmore Central have the skills and education needed to be successful upon graduation regardless of their chosen field of study or career.
