  My name is Sharon Kershner. My husband and I have resided in the Oley  Valley School District for twenty-three years. We are the parents of two  grown sons. For twenty years I served as the treasurer of a non-profit  educational organization where I taught elementary school writing  classes and high school personal finance classes. I am proficient in  evaluating curriculum and preparing lesson plans. In addition I have  mentored high school students in earning college credits through dual  enrollment and CLEP exams. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in  Accounting and have both public and private accounting and tax  experience. I am running for school board because I am passionate about  providing an excellent education for all students. I have attended  several OVSD board meetings, and there has been minimal discussion on  how we can improve academics in the OVSD. I am also concerned about  financial responsibility in the school district. 

 I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and have both public  and private accounting and tax experience. For twenty years I served as  the treasurer of a non-profit educational organization where I managed  the budget and prepared financial reports for the organization. I will  utilize this experience as a board member in making financial decisions.  I also have experience teaching students and in evaluating curriculum.
