Teacher: Richard Kettner Ret., Band, BMMS

My name is Richard Kettner and I've spent the last 19 years as an Instrumental Music Teacher with the Menifee Union School District. It is my privilege to endorse Jackie Johansen for the Menifee School Board, Area 4. I had the pleasure of teaching with Jackie at Menifee Valley and Bell Mountain Middle Schools. She was an outstanding teacher and passionate for Science and her students. She will make an excellent school board member.

Menifee Community Member: Diane Draper, Nurse

Jackie K. Johansen would be a valuable asset on Menifee school board. Her experience as an involved parent with twenty-one years as an educator gives her valuable perspective. Having four children in the district gives her a stake in Menifee school’s quality of education. I wholeheartedly endorse Jackie Johansen for MUSD board.

Mom of 5, Substitute Teacher, Sally Nicora

I have known the Johansen Family for 20+ years! I am a mother of 5 and often Substitute Teach. Jackie would be such an asset to the Menifee School Board! Her energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge will greatly benefit the children and community! Her investment is also personal, as her own children still have many more years of education in front of them.

Menifee/Paloma Graduate, Former Teacher, Connie Draper

I am a former first grade teacher and grew up attending schools in Menifee Union School District. Jackie K. Johansen is an outstanding choice for Menifee School Board. Jackie has spent her life and career always trying to better herself through higher education and research opportunities. She has a thirst for learning and knowledge that I know will benefit her in this position. Jackie is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in and she has the determination to make changes where they are needed. Jackie understands the needs of the district well and is fully invested in what's best for the district, as she is a mother to children in the district and teacher herself. Vote Jackie Johansen for Menifee School Board Area 4!

Santa Rosa Graduate, Dominique Draper

My name is Dominique Draper and I am a recent college graduate and mother. As someone who has known Jackie K. Johansen for years, I have long admired her for her love of education, and her forthrightness. Jackie’s love of education is exemplified in her dedication as a teacher, and her continual thirst for knowledge. Her lifelong commitment to learning has prompted her to continue higher educational pursuits which have magnified her ability to improve the lives of those around her. In all that Jackie does, she educates herself on the topic, level-mindedly considers solutions, says what is necessary even in the face of opposition, and goes forth to selflessly and boldly serve those she represents. As a mother to students in the district and a teacher who has served within it, Jackie understands the needs of the district and is devoted to enacting changes that will be beneficial to our students and teachers. Jackie would be a valuable asset to the Menifee School Board, and I endorse her as a representative of Area 4!

Menifee Mom, Crystal Robbins

I endorse Jackie K. Johansen because I have known her for over 16 years and I think she would be a natural as a school board member. She is dedicated, level-headed and works well with a wide variety of people. She takes the time to do her homework and fully understand the issues she is working on. One of the things I have always admired about Jackie is the enormous energy she brings to school issues. The Menifee school district is a topic she is truly passionate about and has been working hard to gather input from parents, teachers and other citizens about what they think is working and what is broken in our schools. Jackie is energetic, smart and deeply committed to the children, parents and schools in Menifee.
