I’m Marcus Mrowka, and I’m running for another term to represent Camden on our school board.
As a school board member, I’m guided by what’s best for students, supportive of educators, and fair to taxpayers. I have more than a decade of experience working in education at the local, state, and national level, and I’m able to draw on that experience to support our students and schools.
I currently serve as the communications director for the Maine Department of Education and before that I was the communications director for the American Federation of Teachers. It’s no exaggeration to say that public education made me—it was the safe place full of supportive adults I needed, along with teaching me the skills and knowledge I needed to secure a better life. I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that our public schools are strong, supported, and offer all students the opportunities they need to thrive. I will always view as our educators as important partners to help all students achieve their dreams.
Being on the school board is an honor and a joy. I hope I can count on your support for re-election on June 13.
Our Schools Are Hubs of Innovative Teaching and Learning
Families move to Camden for our schools, and educators come from across the country to teach here. I stepped up to run for school board in 2020, during the height of the pandemic. As a board, we worked with administrators and health experts to safely reopen schools that fall. And since then, we’ve supported efforts to expand outdoor learning, increase mental health supports, introduce nature-based pre-K, expand engaging interdisciplinary and project-based learning, increase sustainability efforts, support the educators and school staff who serve our students, and so much more.
With our new strategic plan, which I helped develop alongside parents, students, and educators, our school community will continue to lead through a focus on experiential learning, wellbeing, sustainability, adapting to a changing world, and equity—especially for students who need our support the most. I’m running for another term to continue this work.
