Dear Neighbor,

Every day in the high school where I teach, I see teenagers who are thriving, happy and engaged with school, community and their families. These kids are connected; they have a compass in their lives. But I also see the many young people we are losing, and it troubles me greatly.

Our public schools are regulated by rules that too often reflect a disconnect between the State Board and the children it is supposed to be serving. I am running for the State Board of Education, District 10 because I believe our children deserve better. As adults, we have a responsibility to speak on their behalf. After 26 years as a public school classroom teacher and educational administrator, I believe in:

  • Relevance and rigor in curriculum;
  • Fiscal conservatism;
  • Local control and accountability; and
  • Achieving a common vision.

As I travel across our 18 county district before the Republican Primary election on March 6, 2012, I look forward to meeting you and listening to your concerns.  In the meantime, please use the        Take Action! area of the web page, located to your right, to stay in touch and get involved.

If we all take action, we can give voice to the needs of each child. In turn, our children will be prepared to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and our country will remain strong.

Rebecca Osborne

Showing Up & Speaking Out

"For District 10, we endorse Republican Rebecca Osborne, a teacher in the Round Rock school district. It would be a refreshing change to have someone on the board who could give a contemporary classroom perspective. In addition to college preparation, she wants schools to offer career and vocational instruction for students who decide to go directly to jobs after high school."  2010 Statesman Endorsement

Osborne to run for Open SBOE Seat
Osborne, . . . said she would bring a “practical, common sense teacher’s voice to the State Board of Education.

“Having taught over 5,000 students, I am well aware that all children are not the same, and they don’t need the same solutions,” Osborne said. “Our curriculum must be relevant and rigorous while upholding our conservative values. Local control and accountability are fundamental to the success of our schools.” American Statesman
