About Matt

Welcome! I’m Matt Ford, a proud 31-year Teamster member, long-time community activist and leader, and dedicated public education advocate.

My Priorities

  1. Supporting Student & School Success
    Championing academic excellence, strong programs, and well-supported teachers.
  2. Expanding College & Career Pathways
    Promoting skilled trades, certificate programs, and multiple routes to success—because every student’s future is unique.
  3. Collaborate. Listen. Unite.
    Working collaboratively with the community, parents, students, educators, and board members to put students' needs and success first.
Fight like a Knight!

Why I'm Running

I’m running for school board because I believe in the power of public education to lift up every child and strengthen our community. My experience as a union member, a leader in supporting school funding , and a long term resident of Nordonia Hills gives me a unique, real-world viewpoint. I want to ensure our schools remain places where every student is valued, respected, and prepared—whether their future is college, a trade, the military or another rewarding path. I believe in open, honest decision-making and working together to deliver the best for our kids and our community.
