Read New State Board of Education Member Stanley Jackson’s Resume
Three weeks ago, Gov. John Kasich appointed a guy named Stanley Jackson to the state Board of Education. Today, we finally got a copy of his resume.
In the weeks after his appointment, the governor’s office said it did not have a copy of Jackson’s resume and noted that there’s no requirement that state board appointees provide them. However, it is common for governors to obtain resumes of appointees.
Jackson took his seat with the state board today (at its annual retreat) and Board Relations Director J.C. Benton sent us a copy of Jackson’s resume.
Question time:
- Why did we want to see Jackson’s resume? Because we believe the public deserves to know the work experience and educational background of public board members. We’re not talking boxers or briefs here, but the kinds of things you’d ask of anyone applying for a job or running for office.
- Why did it take three weeks to get a copy? We have no idea. A spokesman for the governor’s office repeatedly said the office did not have a copy. Benton told us Friday he didn’t have a copy yet either. After a brief phone conversation in June, Jackson himself declined to speak with StateImpact.
- What is Jackson’s educational background? Under education, he lists “The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH–Sociology major and The Ohio State University Buckeye Football Quarterback” in addition to his high school diploma.
- What is Jackson’s work experience? He currently works as a sports radio commentator and as founder of an organization called “Integrated American Media.” The Ohio Secretary of State doesn’t list a business by that exact name, but the organization is described in Jackson’s bio for a speaking engagement as a “television network which provides Christian conservative viewpoints for minority communities.” Until last month, Jackson also led a nonprofit that was working towards opening a charter school in Ohio.
Here is an excerpt of Jackson’s resume, as provided by state Board of Education staff. Please note that the resume was emailed to us without formatting marks. We have added line returns and bold headings for easier reading. Any formatting errors are ours.
