JOSHUA Dear Neighbor, Our Schools, Our City and Our Community Believes in Beachwood My name is Joshua Mintz and I serve on the Beachwood Board of Education. I am proud to serve on a board that has accomplished so much over the last four years, including achieving Beachwood’s highest performance index in the district’s history, ranking Beachwood 8 of 611 public school districts in the state. The addition of the new University Hospitals-Beachwood High School Medical Academy and new Design & Innovation Program, in partnership with Cleveland State University’s Washkewicz College of Engineering, are just some of the examples of the board’s dedication to making Beachwood the best place to learn. I am running for re-election and ask for your vote in order to continue to apply a hands-on approach to honor the Beachwood tradition, while infusing a fresh spirit of passion and perspective on issues that are important to us all. I will continue to be your advocate in order to maintain our high quality educational ratings by: • Continuing to hire the brightest and best teachers and staff, • Continuing to insist that all projects, once started, are completed, and • Working to strengthen mentoring opportunities, which would include Alumni and local businesses, to “achieve the mission of the Beachwood City Schools: developing intellectual entrepreneurs with a social conscience.” As a parent, a homeowner and a graduate of the Beachwood City Schools, I care deeply about the quality of education in our schools, and pledge to continue to give my all, so that our children receive the best possible education. On Tuesday, November 3rd, I ask for your vote. Please re-elect Joshua Mintz to maintain excellence for Beachwood City Schools. Sincerely,   Joshua Mintz JMintz4Beachwood@gmail.com Paid for by the Committee to Elect Joshua Mintz, June E.
