Josh Cersovsky Shares his Vision Ahead of Board of Education Election
October 31, 2025
As voters prepare to head to the polls on November 4 to elect three new members to the Colby USD 315 Board of Education, six candidates have stepped forward to share their thoughts, priorities, and vision for the future of local education. Each candidate was asked to respond to four general questions that help the community understand who they are, what issues they see facing the district, and how they plan to serve if elected.
1. Please take a moment to describe yourself to the community, and what makes you passionate about joining the Board of Education?
As someone who values faith, family, and hard work I am dedicated to ensuring our schools reflect those same principles.
2. What do you think are the top three concerns facing the school district, and how would you work to address those concerns?
1. Student achievement and learning gaps; post-pandemic learning loss and varying academic needs have widened achievement gaps across the school district. We need to focus on reading and math foundations expanding tutoring programs with parent and teacher reinforcement.
2. School safety and student well-being are always challenging, but I will focus on bullying and mental health. Students cannot learn if they do not feel safe and supported.
3. We must focus on strengthening character education to make the school safe, proactive, and balanced.
3. While you likely won’t be involved in the hiring process of the next district superintendent, what qualities do you consider most important in a candidate for this position?
A good superintendent is more than just a title. They need experience, vision, and a heart for kids. A proven leader who is student focused, honest, and community oriented.
4. Lastly, why should the community look to you for leadership on this board, and what would you like to say to the community?
I care deeply about faith, family, and student success. I am ready to listen, lead with integrity, and make sure our district focuses on what matters the most- Doing what matters the most for our students. I would be honored to serve on the school board. It's not about politics, it's about people. Kids, teachers and the community. The children are our future.
