Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Former Warsaw School Board member Matt Dick is running for election to the Board again.
Dick previously served on the Board representing District 1 for two four-year terms, ending Dec. 31, 2018.
“I’m excited to announce my candidacy for the District 1 seat once again,” he said in a news release. “After serving two terms and then being away from the board for the past four years, I feel it gives me a unique perspective and appreciation for what serving in this role entails. If fortunate enough to be elected again, the people of District 1 will know they are getting a conservative voice to represent them, along with someone who is passionate about representing teachers, parents and students at the highest level.
“In my previous eight years on the Board, I learned the value of being a voice that is willing to challenge, while also learning the importance of being a team player. My wife is a teacher, my parents were teachers, my in-laws were teachers, my oldest daughter is an education major and I was an education major as well. I have the upmost respect for the profession and am excited for the opportunity and chance to potentially serve in this role once more,” he stated.
He is married to Nicole Ryman-Dick, who teaches sixth grade at Washington STEM Academy and has 29 years of experience at Warsaw Community Schools.
Daughter Maddie Ryman is a 2019 Warsaw graduate, while daughter Kensington Ryman is a 2021 Warsaw graduate. Both are attending at Grace College.
Son Jeremy Ryman is a 2021 Warsaw graduate and is a freshman at Purdue University.
Matt is a Grace College graduate with a business education major. He student taught at Goshen High School and has worked at Silveus Insurance Group since 2002.
His previous two terms on the school board for District 1 were from 2010 to 2018, serving as vice president for seven of those eight years.
Dick will face Tom Westerhof in the November election. Westerhof filed on the first day of candidate filing.
