Scheidt announces bid for school board

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – Republican Dennis Scheidt has announced that he will campaign for the District 1 seat on the Forsyth County Board of Education.

Scheidt holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Cincinnati and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with a major in Finance and Health Administration from Georgia State University. His work experience includes service as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer for a major Atlanta hospital.

“It is my desire that the next generation grows up in a society that guards the freedoms that our founding fathers established when the Constitution was written,” he said.

He has led programs like Teen Pact, introducing high school students to the legislative process of both the U.S. and State government. His organizing and directing humanitarian short-term trips to places with very different government structures like Bosnia and Ukraine has helped many young people realize and appreciate the liberties and freedoms we enjoy in America.

Scheidt married his college sweetheart 52 years ago. They have 11 children and 26 grandchildren.
