KEEP JUDGE TERESA BALLINGER WORKING HARD
FOR MARION
Dear Marion Community,
I would like to share with the Marion community how proud I am of the accomplishments of Municipal Court Judge Teresa Ballinger.
I first knew Ms. Ballinger in 1985, when she was a social studies and special education teacher at Pleasant High School where I was superintendent. During the 11 years as teacher at Pleasant, Ms. Ballinger touched the lives of over 1,600 students she taught and coached. Her patience, understanding and skills are best exemplified by the success of the special needs students she supported.
Ms. Ballinger was a single parent of two sons, and taught full time at Pleasant while attending Capital University Law School in the evenings for 3 1/2 years. Her life’s lesson for students was that anything is possible if one is willing to work hard to achieve one’s goals.
Upon passing the Bar Exam in 1994, I was able to grant Ms. Ballinger a two year leave of absence from teaching when she opened a law practice. I wanted her to know that her teaching skills and expertise were valuable resources to Pleasant High School, and that she was welcome to return to the teaching ranks if her dreams of being a legal professional did not reach her expectations. Unfortunately, for students, Ms. Ballinger loved the practice of law and did not return to the classroom.
As a former resident of Marion County and former Superintendent of Pleasant Local Schools, I am pleased to have had the opportunity to support Judge Ballinger as she achieved her goal, and wish her continued success this November in her quest to retain the Marion Municipal Judgeship.
