Governing School Board

“As a Parks resident for the past 16 years and attending Maine Consolidated, I found that I wanted to give back to the school and join the Board to help serve the students, faculty and community of Parks. Living here in Parks has been the greatest experience of my life thus far and want to keep this community engaged and tight-knit. I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Northern Arizona University and a minor in Biology. I want to help the school as much as humanly possible achieve the highest expectations and even excel those expectations by striving for a happy, healthy and growing environment that puts education first.”

My name is Martin Scott McClung. I am 67 years old. I am a US Navy veteran. I hold a Masters degree in Anthropology with a specialty in archaeology. I am a federally certified field archeologist. I have served on the Maine Consolidated School District since 2012. I am one of the owners of Abrio Family Services. Looking forward to my next great adventure.

My name is Jerome Larson. I am 63 years old. I am married with two sons.  I am a retired supervisor US Marshals, I have lived in Arizona over 32 years, in Parks 6 years. I grew up in a rural community in Northern Minnesota.

My name is Kodi Mortensen and I have been a resident in the Parks community for 23 years.  I am married to Troy Mortensen and I have 5 children that all attend or attended Maine School and all have been very successful that have graduated.  I still have 2 children attending school, one at Maine and the other is in High School.  I have been involved with the PTO, coaching sports teams, substituting as a teacher, and other volunteer positions.  I began my position on the school board in 2022.  My profession is in accounting and I am also involved in some personal companies with real estate and landscaping but my favorite profession is being a mom.    The Parks community has some great citizens that live here and the school has played a special role in my life and so I hope to serve as a member on the board to give back to the community and teachers and help to make it better for all.
