For Gilpin RE-1 School Board
My name is Jerry Yocom, and it is my pleasure to announce that I am a candidate for the Gilpin County School District RE-1 School Board. I am dedicated to serving Gilpin County students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Previously, I had the good fortune to participate in the affairs of the board. I was appointed to complete the final two-years of a four-year term in 2008-2009. I chose not to run after I completed the term, although it was a time I enjoyed very much. I find myself wanting, and encouraged, to serve once again.
My wife and I have been residents of Gilpin County for almost 30 years. We made the decision to raise our daughters here. It is where our children blossomed into the wonderful people they are today. Much of the credit for their success can be directly attributed to their participation in the Gilpin County school system. My wife, Katie, is a teacher at Gilpin. My daughter, Halle, is a sophomore here. My daughter, Anna, is a recent graduate and now a freshman at the Colorado School of Mines. I very much want to help ensure the continuing success of our students.
