Thomas Herbster
Herbster is a North Olmsted graduate who has served on the school board
for 12 years, two of which were as vice president and one as board
president. He was selected as one of the top five board of education
members by the Ohio School Boards Association twice. He is employed by
the city of North Olmsted as a state licensed class III waste water
maintenance technician.
“I have been, and continue to be, the most visible member of the board,”
Herbster said. “During any given month, I attend an average of three to
four events each week. I have attended events when things are running
smoothly, and more importantly, when changes are made or proposed that
some may not totally agree with. Open communications are important.”
Herbster believes there’s still work for the board to do.
“Districts need to work closer with our nation and state leaders to stop
unfunded mandates,” he said. “We need to engage them as much as
possible to understand both our needs and limited funds to educate
public school children. Taxpayers can only afford so much and the
district stretch those dollars that we are given.”
