Personal Endorsements:
“Our schools need to get back to the basics - literacy, math, and a respect for America's founding principles. Too often, modern education has drifted away from these fundamentals, and Lisa is the strong conservative voice we need to bring our curriculum back to what matters most. Lisa has experience in curriculum development to make a significant impact. Lisa is endorsed by many teachers because she has a dedication for student success and commitment to education that inspires many teachers. Nebraska needs leaders like Lisa on the State School Board of Education who focus on real results. Lisa has my full support. I encourage you to vote Lisa Schonhoff for State School Board of Education on November 5th!”
~Jeff Wilmes, President

“As a parent deeply invested in the education of our children, I wholeheartedly endorse Lisa Schonhoff for the State Board of Education. Lisa has demonstrated a commitment to fostering an inclusive and innovative learning environment for our own child and has continued to show her investment in her success along the way. I am particularly impressed by her “get back to the basics” ideology, which aligns with my values as a parent and addresses the critical need in our schools. Lisa understands the challenges we face and brings a collaborative approach to problem-solving, ensuring that the voices of parents, teachers, and students are heard. I encourage fellow parents and community members to support Lisa. Together, we can help shape a brighter future for our children and ensure they receive the high-quality education they deserve.”
~Natalie Hughes, Mom of Student

"I'm proud to support my former coworker and friend, Lisa, who's running for the State Board of Education. We taught first grade together in Kansas City, Kansas, where I witnessed her deep commitment to real, lasting education—not passing trends. Lisa’s ability to listen, communicate, and advocate for students, families, and educators makes her a strong, essential voice for our schools. Teaching alongside her were some of my most rewarding days, as we used meaningful strategies that truly impacted our students’ lives."
~Elisabeth Edwards, Veteran Teacher
​
“Lisa has shown incredible dedication to creating a specific tutoring plan for my son. We’ve been through many reading programs over the years that haven’t gotten him where he needs to be. Lisa has taken time to know his everyday interests and implements those interests into his lessons. He looks forward to his sessions with her and is excited to tell me what they read about. Which means his comprehension is improving as well. We are very grateful to have found Lisa!”
~Mom of Student
​
“Yesterday I was blessed to spend a couple of hours knocking doors with Lisa Schonhoff for NE State Board of Education and I got to see a side of her that some may not. Everything said here is true. Of course Lisa is a solid conservative, experienced teacher with a crystal clear vision for Nebraska schools. What I saw yesterday is a compassionate, articulate mom, with an incredible work ethic who’s given up a career and a salary and go through the hell of a campaign - for a job that doesn’t pay anything- because she has legitimate concerns about the future of our kids and a plan to fix it. I will do everything I can in the next 7 weeks to get Lisa elected!!! Join me?!!?”
~Micheal Dwyer, Volunteer Firefighter, Arlington

"I am supporting Lisa Schonhoff, because she is an educator with great experience. More importantly, Lisa has strong Nebraskan values."

"Lisa Schonhoff is unquestionably the best Instructional Coach I’ve had in my 20 years of teaching. I had the opportunity to work with Lisa for many years in the Kansas City, Kansas School District. Lisa’s eagerness for teaching best practices, newest strategies and data proven techniques has always shone brightly in her. In our time together, Lisa often held book studies collaborating amongst colleagues and exploring the latest research. Her determination for everyone to be successful and have as many tools in their own personal tool box is also evident in her work. She co-planned, co-taught and delivered incredible lessons providing both students and teachers with lifelong skills that stuck and could be built upon.
Thank you, Lisa Schonhoff, for inspiring me to teach with passion. Your dedication for success and commitment to education is infectious to those around you.”
-Amelia Kovac, Veteran Teacher

“Lisa Schonhoff worked in a diverse community in Kansas City, KS for more than ten years as a classroom teacher and then an instructional coach for teachers. Lisa is one of the most hard working and intelligent educators I’ve worked with. She is quick to roll up her sleeves and jump in to help however is needed and quickly earns the respect of those around her. She is exactly who is needed on the State Board of Education!”
~Christi Clayton, Veteran Teacher and Instructional Coach
