Brad Herman: An Independent Voice for Our Schools.
The current BOE has acted like a closed circle, protecting incumbents and blocking new voices. Twice, they’ve bent the ballot process to their advantage — tactics that may pass legal review but fail the test of fairness. Brad Herman is different. He’s not beholden to the status quo of insiders . He’s running to open the board, bring in fresh ideas, and restore trust. Together, let's drive positive change and create a more inclusive educational environment.
This decline is no accident. The Board of Education has been stuck in inertia, insider politics, and resistance to change. Students and families pay the price while the same voices recycle the same failed ideas.
As a candidate for the SPF Board of Education, Brad Herman is committed to transparency, diversity, and active participation for all.
My name is Brad Herman.
I am a family man and football/hockey/girl scout dad looking to bring change for a smarter SPF. I want better academic performance, transparency, & less waste for our kids, families, and members of the community of the SPF district.
As a parent who does school drop-off and pick-up daily, I understand the challenges families face. If elected, I’ll push for parent-friendly policies — like banning garbage pickup, non-emergency construction, and leaf removal before 8:45 AM on school days — to ease stress and reduce tardiness.
I am also a "Girl Scout dad". I support the mission of the Girl Scouts especially in inspiring girls to achieve leadership roles. Anna Maria Chavez, former CEO of Girl Scouts, gave a very inspiring speech at the Casualty Actuarial Society's (I am a member of CAS) 2024 Annual Meeting last November. I also recently volunteered to assist my daughter's troop for their "Take Action" project. I am attaching photos taken of me with my daughter at the annual Girl Scouts "Father/Daughter dance" as well as from the "Take Action" project site (people other than me and my daughter are blurred out to protect identities as this is a public page).
Our family is multicultural where we span Chinese, Trinadian, Indian, and European Jewish ethnicities and heritage. This is my younger son proudly wearing traditional clothing to celebrate the year of the Snake (my year) this past Chinese Lunar New Year. We proudly celebrate this holiday in our household and read books such as: "Bringing in the New Year" by Grace Lin which goes through how the Lunar New Year is observed and celebrated (with adjustments where we substitute Mandarin terms in the book like "Mei-Mei" with the Cantonese term "Moy-Moy" for little sister), and "Two New Years" by Richard Ho to reinforce that our family celebrates both the Lunar New Year as well as Rosh Hashanah (and of course, the January 1st New Year).
I am also a football and hockey dad.
