The newest candidate for School Board District C is wanting to bring a fresh perspective.
Austin DeWitt is just two years removed from graduating from Fruita Monument High School and announced his candidacy earlier this month.
âA lot of people have asked why they should vote for me given my age, but I think thatâs an asset,â DeWitt said. âI know the system and how education works today more than someone who is years removed from being in school.â
DeWitt is on the custodian staff at Mount Garfield Middle School.
He has a passion for volunteering, giving his time to the Special Olympics, Future Farmers of America, the theater department in high school and at Orchard Mesa Middle School.
