Board Candidate Jamie Clontz

My name is Jamie Clontz.  I am married, work full time and am a mom to two amazing girls. My youngest daughter will be going into 2nd grade at Drake Elementary School, and my oldest daughter will be going to North Tonawanda High School next year.  I am a graduate of the Lumberjack family and continued supporter of our sports teams and clubs.  Let’s go, Jacks!

I have been an active member in Drake Elementary School and NTI’s PTO’s holding different positions over the 9 years my girls have been in the district.  I started as a Secretary for Friends of Drake School (FOD) and since then I have held the positions of Treasurer for FOD and Friends of NTI (FONTI) and Vice President for both schools.  You have probably seen me volunteering at all the school events, helping plan at all the PTO meetings and staying late executing an idea with the rest of the board.  I have worked alongside some amazing groups of Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents over the course of 9 years and being a part of both hardworking, passionate boards has taught me a couple of very important things.  How to work as a team with others that may have different perspectives and ideas than myself, and it takes many hours and many hands to make it a successful school year for the kids, teachers and staff.  I am honored to be a part of it every year and can’t wait to continue doing it for years to come.

If I have the privilege of being elected, I want to focus on Special Education:

  • Expanding resource options for IEP and special education students.
  • Supporting our educators to make sure they have the tools they need to help them grow and succeed. 
  • And making sure parents’ voices are heard.

I am committed to being an accessible board member who will listen and assist in any way that I can.  Together we can raise the bar for North Tonawanda City Schools in support for our children and make this district an example of educational support and inclusion that other districts will be talking about.
