Support Oshkosh Students
We are community members living in the Oshkosh Area School District who believe in supporting our schools’ mission to provide the best possible education for our students.
For years we have seen how funding limits have hobbled our community’s schools and made it harder for our students to succeed academically and socially.
Vote Yes on Tuesday, April 1, 2025
…and please remind your friends and family to vote too!
The Tuesday, April 1, 2025, school board election will affect whether Oshkosh schools continue with our long term, community-developed strategic plan to update and consolidate our very old buildings and to continue investing in the success of our students and community.
School Board Candidates
Three candidates have filed for the election, for two open seats:
- Molly Smiltneek (appointed to fill a board vacancy last summer)
- Michael Ford (former Oshkosh city council member)
- Jacob Wolf
We support Molly Smiltneek and Michael Ford for their many years of involvement helping to develop and support the district’s long term plan.
Thanks to this long term plan, Oshkosh students have two new, modern schools: Vel Phillips Middle School which opened in 2023, and Menominee Elementary, which opened last fall.
