http://www.nddemnpl.blogspot.com/ Dr. Wayne Sanstead held a news conference in the state’s capital city today to make it official. Sanstead has held the position for 23 years and says his accomplishments are many, but there’s more to do. “During my tenure, I have demonstrated the commitment to step forward and provide leadership to tackle issues head on,” he said. “We still face many challenges within North Dakota’s K-12 system. I am running again, because I feel my experienced leadership is absolutely critical to lead our state into a bright future.” Sanstead cites some of his major achievements during the job as: increased equity and adequacy for school funding, higher teacher pay, technological advancements for schools, expanded literacy programs and increased distance education programs. He says when elected for a seventh term, his main goals will be continuing to advocate for higher teacher pay, increased school funding and technology upgrades. “Our teachers are the best in the country, and they need to be compensated properly for their great work,” Sanstead said. “And, to ensure our children have the latest tools they need to succeed, funding for K-12 education will be a big priority for me in future legislative sessions. My philosophy in this role has always been kids first.” Sanstead is a long-time public servant. Prior to serving as North Dakota’s superintendent of public instruction, he held office for eight years as the state’s lieutenant governor, two years as a state senator and eight years as a state representative. Sanstead received his bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College, master's from Northwestern University and doctorate from the University of North Dakota. He is married to wife Mary Jane. They have two sons. |
