I was born in Mercy Hospital here in Iowa City ~ Iowa, the fourth child to Keith and Joanne Hemingway ofruraJ Johnson County. I grew up in my family's farm; was educated in the West Branch Community School system; attended the University of Iowa for 2 years. I worked on the family fann for a time before getting the opportunity to manage Carver Tropical Products (CTP) in Belize, Central America.

The ranch has 7 miles of border with Mexico on the Rio Hondo river, a 1,000 acre lake, at one time had over 4,000 head of cattle, had a sheep and mango operations, a machine shop, land clearing and rowcrop operations, poultry & horses. When I first started working for CTP, staff was over 60 with 2,400 head of cattle and when I left, it was 35 with over 4~000 head of cattle and an increase in acreage. After CTP. I was doing agricultural consulting in the former Soviet Union, many times being the first American in the areas I visited since before the revolution. After this period I went to work for International Vac services of Cedar Rapids, a division of Westside Transport. During this time, I unloaded foreign aid ships in third world countries, i.e. Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Turkey, Ethiopia. Eritrea, Djfbouti, Kenya, Tanzania, & Angola. During this period I worked as a cargo master and a port captain. Upon the birth of my daughter, I stopped my international work to spend time with my family, worked as a mechanic for local businesses before opening my own repair business in 1997.

I relate well to people and desire to come up with solutions that foster collaboration between board members and the community.

My son and daughter are both enrolled in Iowa City Public Schools. My son is a sophomore at City High School and my daughter Is in the 7th grade at South East Junior High School.

I served on various committees on the Helen Lemme PTA. I served three years on the executive board as President Elect (2007-08), President (2008~09) and Past President (2009-10). My duties as president, included presiding over all meetings, serving as needed on each of the various committees coordinating activities and assisting with preparing the budget.

In spring 2009 I volunteered after school, offering a photography club for 5th and 6th grade students at Lemme. In the 2009-10 School Year I worked with two other parents lead a newspaper club C'The Leopard Times") that met one day a week at the school and produced a monthly edition of a student newspaper. I worked along side the other parent volunteers to help the students with story ideas, photography and layout of the newspaper.

During the current school year I volunteered my time with Iowa City Community School District Foundation. I worked with the director and members of the Grants Committee to create an on-line method for completing Excellence Fund Grant Applications. This online method of completing applications provided the ICCSD staff and board members a streamlined method of reviewing applications.

I graduated from Iowa State in 1984 with a degree in Computer Science. I have lived and worked in the Iowa City area since 1984. During that entire time I have been employed at Pearson (former1y NeS) in progressively greater positions of responsibility.

My job duties have taught me to prepare a budget, conduct effective meetings, work to coach and develop staff, how and when to work wIth consultants, how to build innovative solutions for customers and to work in a collaborative way with my colleagues.

My volunteer work as a coach in Kickers and Iowa City gir1s softball, as well as, my work with students in extra curricular activities has reinforced my belief in public education. My work as a leader in the PTA has highlighted for me the need to set a positive tone and provide information in a clear concise manner to parents.

I bring a pragmatic approach to solution design, problem solving and decision making. look forward to using both my technical background and my background in management to work with the board, the superintendent and staff make well reasoned decisions that focus on the needs of the students, teachers, parents and community stakeholders.

I believe as a parent we are our children's greatest advocate. This involves being a voice for them as they develop and grow from a kindergarten child to graduating senior. I have been that advocate for my three children for the past eighteen years and now I am looking forward to being that advocate for the children of the Iowa City Community School Distrlct.J believe that the decisions the board votes on should always bear in mind what's best for the children of the district. I bring to the board years of experience in corporate America and eighteen years of serving the various school districts that my children have attended, from coaching soccer and football to serving as a two term President of the PTA. These qualities have more than prepared me to be that advocate for them on this board.

As an introduction, I gave thought to running for school board election about a year ago and completed but did not submit an application after attending two meetings and detennining I would be unable to make a time commitment. My interest in re-exploring a position relates to my anticipated full retirement from academic medical practice (Pediatric Cardiology) on 8/1/2011 and available time to "give back" to the community in which I have lived since 1987.

I have organizational skills, a strong work ethic, and a desire to positively influence the lives of children. I am a champion of education and have a sensitivity for the complexity of structuring the process. My perspective would incorporate health concerns and their attendant impact on lives. I feel I could add a selfless objective point of view, unfettered by personal gains and motivated by a desire to contribute positively to the missions of the ICCSD. This short term appointment would seem an ideal way to assess mutual benefit of service for me and the Board.


I swear (or affirm) that the information provided on this form is correct. I will be qualified to hold this office and if'I am selected) I will qualify by taking the oath of office. I know that I cannot hold public office if I have been convicted of a felony or other infamous crime and my rights have not been restored by the Governor or by the President of the United States.

Do you plan to run in the September 2011 election? Not Sure

If I did run in the September 2011 election it would be for the remainder of the term.


My involvement and/or experience with the ICCSD came in conjunction with the education in Iowa City of my three children: Peter, Martha and Arthur. All attended various ICCSD schools between the years 1967 and 1962 and were National Merit Scholars. Peter later graduated from Grinnell College and the University Of Iowa College Of Law. Martha later graduated from Rice University and received her PhD from Stanford in Materials Science and Engineering. Arthur graduated from Columbia University and received his PhD from Berkeley in Economics.

What do you believe will be your greatest contributions to the ICCSD HOE? Please use 250 words or less.

1

It is difficult to envision that any contributions I would make to the ICCSD BOE would be "great". I do have, however, extensive experience dealing with educational policy, legal and budget issues from my sixteen years in the Iowa General Assembly. Perhaps that experience might prove useful.

Also, at the request of Davenport Mayor William Gluba I spent a considerable amount of time during the past year researching and talking with people knowledgeable about charter schools. The City of Davenport was interested in exploring getting a charter school established because there were numerous indications of dissatisfactions with the current school system. Those dissatisfactions were perceived by city administrators to be having an impact on the city's ability to attract new businesses. The current Davenport city administrator had earlier helped establish a successful charter school in an Illinois city and he was encouraging an effort to consider new educational alternatives in Davenport. Some of the information I assembled was found useful when Davenport submitted a proposal for federal funding for their school system.

I also spent spend a few years as Director of Information for Measurement Research Center (later Westinghouse Learning Corporation) in Iowa City. That company was involved in educational testing and measurement. I did quite a bit of writing for the companies. Two pieces I wrote for the director of the company were published in educational journals.

Finally, I did spend three years teaching at Saint Ambrose COllege in Davenport before going off into other directions and law school.

Please provide a list of your involvement and i or experience with the TCCSD along with associated dates.

My son started kindergarten at Longfellow Elementary School in August 2002 and my daughter started in August 2004. I have been an active parent at Longfellow since, working with my children and their teachers as they engage in learning! volunteering and chaperoning at events, and participating in the PTA. My son and I both have attended the PSTO meetings at Southeast Junior High over the past two years and I have volunteered at events during the fall trimesters. I have attended several remarkable IEP meetings at both Longfellow and Southeast Junior High and am a pleased user of PowerSchool as a parent. I am looking forward to staying involved this fall as my son transitions to Iowa City High School and my daughter to Southeast Junior High.

I also have attended several school board meetings and public events, and have spoken during the public comment period at school board meetings. I attended events as part of the selection process for Iowa City's new superintendent, as well as several events that followed to get to know Mr. Murley. Most recently. I spoke at the school board meeting in October of 2010 in support of school anti-bullying programming and I attended meetings after to follow progress on the issue.


In 1985, I managed multi-million dollar budgets as treasurer of the University of Iowa student government. Shortly after that, I moved to Washington, DC, where I ran national nonprofit associations and continued my education, ultimately earning masters degrees from Harvard University and the University of Maryland.

When I moved back to Iowa City in 2001, I launched West Wind Education Policy Inc. (www.westwinded.com). a small business dedicated to building the capacity of education leaders to imagine and enact an education system that overcomes inequities and engages each and every child in learning.

Through my work, I have helped leaders across the nation implement standards-based whole-system reforms. This has included work here in Iowa; we conducted focus groups across the state, wrote Iowa's Race to the Top application, and supported the Grant Wood AEA with grant writing. This has contributed to my knowledge of education policies and regulations in Iowa and provided the opportunity to get to know many state and local leaders.

My children are now old enough and my business is strong enough that I have the necessary time to devote to local public service. My job requires that I stay on top of the latest research in education as well to contemplate the appropriate roles and relationships between school boards, central offices, schools and school personnel, students, and the community. I believe I can hit the ground running and, thus, it is my responsibility to step up and support the community through service on the ICCSD School Board.


I swear (or affirm) that the information provided on this form is correct. T will be qualified to hold this office and in am selected, I will qualify by taking the oath of office. I know that I cannot hold public office ifI have been convicted of a felony or other infamous crime and my rights have not been restored by the Governor or by the President of the United States.
