Rick’s Priorities

1. Student-Centered Leadership
Rick Rasmussen puts students first—every decision, every time. He believes our kids and educators deserve leadership that listens, acts, and delivers.

2. Trust & Transparency
Rick believes that trust is built on openness. As a trustee, he’ll bring transparency to decision-making so families know their voices are heard and respected.

3. Values That Last Generations
Like the bricks in its walls, there has been a Rasmussen at CDA High since it first opened its doors in 1968. Rick’s commitment to District 271 isn’t just professional—it’s personal.

4. A Legacy of Education
Coming from a family of educators, Rick understands the challenges and opportunities our schools face. He’ll work tirelessly to ensure our students and educators are represented.

5. Workforce Development Opportunities
Rick knows education doesn’t stop at graduation. By expanding workforce development opportunities, he’ll work to bridge the gap for students to succeed beyond graduation and keep our talent in North Idaho.

6. Community as the North Star
For Rick, community isn’t just a word—it’s his compass. Every policy, every vote, every action will be guided by what strengthens education in North Idaho.
