Al Rowlett – No Slogans, No Sound Bites

No quick answers, no flashy comments, just serious talk from a School Board trustee.

In this edition: Al Rowlett doesn't know how to give a short answer – or a boring one. He tells us in detail, where the district has gone right, AND wrong. In a unique, open conversation he shows us just who Al Rowlett is, and why we should vote to reelect him.

Meet the Candidate – Al Rowlett, on today's RadioElkGrove. Let's look into it together.

 When you ask Al Rowlett a question, you get the whole answer. He'll site details, history, background from around the state, all in a calm and open manner. You should hope for that kind of knowledge from a man that has been committed to Elk Grove Education for over a quarter century.

But the depth and knowledge of his responses doesn't hide Rowlett's underlying passion for the kids of our district.

Rowlett has been dedicated to the Elk Grove Unified School district since 1986. He started at the school level in PTO, and has served continuously for 26 years, even while pursueing a career, raising a family, earning two Masters Degrees, and participating in dozens of other community and educational boards and committees. Immediately before joining the school board in 2009, Rowlett served for ten years on the School District Financial Committee.

Professionally Rowlett works as a Social Work Field Instructor, Part-time professor at CSUS, and a Volunteer Clinical Professor at UC Davis. He's highly respected in his field, and currently serves as Vice President and Commissioner of the United States Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association Certification Commission.

With all these credits, and countless more, Rowlett doesn't come off as an elitist or egg head. He talks directly and openly about his role on the school board, how it works, and what is right and wrong in what they've done.

We spoke to Mr. Rowlett by phone – the only way we could break into his busy schedule.
