Ron Munkres is my choice for the Redmond School Board. Munkres went to Redmond schools and then had a very distinguished career as an educator and administrator. As principal of the only vo-tech school in Oregon, Sabin Skill Center, Munkres spent his time in that role building partnerships between education and the business community. Recently as a retired educator in Redmond, Munkres was instrumental in helping establish a mentor program for students extending their education beyond high school. Munkres also served on the design team for the high school, focusing on the career and technical wing. Munkres has been a member of the Redmond Kiwanis Club for several years and has served as adviser to the Key Club — a high school group sponsored by the Redmond Kiwanis Club — helping students volunteer and making connections with local businesses.

Munkres is committed to making Redmond a better place to live. He has chaired the Buckaroo Breakfast for the past five years. Munkres has also worked with EDCO in looking for higher education opportunities for Central Oregon. When it comes to a need in Redmond, you can always count on Munkres being there to help. Munkres’ leadership skills and enthusiasm for Redmond is just what our Redmond School Board needs.
