My name is Scott Hodges and I am a candidate for the Ralls County R-II Board of Education. I am a lifelong resident of Ralls County and a 1998 graduate of Mark Twain High School. After graduating, I began farming along with my father and brother, and we continue that operation today. My wife Ashley and I have two children, Rachel, who is a 7th grader at Mark Twain Junior High, and Chloe, who is a 4th grader at Ralls County Elementary.
My family and I love spending time outdoors, camping, and boating. Our daughters are both active in softball and basketball and I enjoy helping coach those programs. We are also active members of the Center Baptist Church and Ralls County 4-H.
I am the vice president, and past president of the Perry Rural Fire Association. I also serve as a member of the Mark Twain Regional Council of Governments Transportation Advisory Committee.
Deciding to file for school board was not a decision I took lightly. I spent a lot of time speaking with my wife, family, and friends about this choice. I understand that there are many tough decisions school board members face on a regular basis, and I will take all of them seriously. I understand that our children are the future of this great country and will do what I can to make sure they have every tool and opportunity they need to succeed. I appreciate your support and look forward to representing the students, staff, and voters in the Ralls County R-II School District.
