Who I Am & Why Butler Is Home

Hello, neighbors! My name is Roberto DiMeo, though most people around town just call me Rob. Over a decade ago, my wife and I moved to Butler, not fully realizing the impact this town would have on us. Another parent put it best: “Butler may be a small town, but it has a big heart.” It's that small-town spirit that fosters excellence in our kids, helping them excel in academics and sports, and grow into kind, confident individuals. I see it every day with my daughter. And that's why I'm running for the Board of Education.

Some of you may know me as "that Butler Dads guy." You might also have seen me volunteering at PTA events, or watched the Butler's Historical Journey video I created with our museum this past June for Butler's 125th and America's 250th anniversaries. Working on that project, and serving on the Butler Museum Committee, reminded me how many neighbors over the years have given their time to make this town what it is.

Professionally, I help lead a global team for a financial technology organization, where I manage systems and documentation that create clear paths for communication so complex information is easy to understand. I'm also a local realtor, so I see firsthand how much our schools mean to families choosing to make Butler home.

Vision & Priorities

Why I'm Running for Board of Education

“Butler may be a small town, but it has a big heart.”

It's that small-town spirit that fosters excellence in our kids, helping them excel in academics and sports, and grow into kind, confident individuals. I care deeply about my daughter's future and the future of all the children in our community. I believe that starts at home, so that we can support our teachers, who are there for our kids every single day.

An Active Parent's Voice at the Table

Serving on a school board takes real commitment, and I'm grateful to everyone who has given their time. I'm running to add a fresh parent perspective.

2

Supporting Our Kids & Teachers

A strong education is a partnership between home and school. When families are engaged, we can better support our teachers in the classroom, giving them the tools, respect, and backing they need so every child in Butler can thrive academically, athletically, and personally.

3

Clear Communication & Thoughtful Stewardship

Busy families deserve plain-English updates on board decisions, policies, and the district audit so it's easy to follow how our schools are run. With rising costs, I will weigh every budget and tax decision carefully against its impact on Butler families and the value it brings to our kids.
