Greg Clark Running for Reelection on The Fargo School Board

Greg Clark, incumbent member of the Fargo School Board, joins Tyler Axness on Afternoons Live to discuss his campaign for re-election. Reflecting on his four years in office, Clark acknowledges a steep learning curve, admitting he stumbled through his first two years before gaining traction. He emphasizes the need for continuity on the board, noting the high turnover in recent cycles and the importance of experienced leadership. Clark highlights a shift in public discourse around school boards—from national culture war debates to more practical concerns like student nutrition, teacher pay, and fiscal responsibility. As chair of the planning committee, he led efforts to scrutinize property tax incentives, rejecting automatic 20-year, 100% breaks and advocating for sustainable budgeting amid state funding shortfalls. He identifies rising bussing costs—up $2 million in two years—as a major challenge, noting that reducing them to 2022 levels could fund a $2,000 raise for every teacher. Clark also praises the new superintendent, Dr. Sanders, for improved transparency and engagement with the board. He encourages voters to learn more via his Facebook page and website, gregforfargo.com.
