Focused, accountable leadership for Osseo Area Schools — rooted in listening to parents, teachers, neighbors, and students across our district.
Why Max is running
I’m running to keep the board focused on what matters most: academic growth, supported educators, and schools where every student can thrive.
I’m Max Maher, and I’m running for Osseo School Board because strong public schools don’t happen by accident. They take focused leadership — the kind that keeps students, teachers, and families at the center of every decision.
In conversations with parents, educators, and neighbors across our district, I’ve heard a clear desire for stronger academic outcomes, meaningful support for teachers, and schools where every student has a clear path to succeed.
That’s the work I’m ready to take on.

“As a pediatrician, I’m voting for Max Maher because we need leaders who are genuinely committed to acting in the best interests of children, not just grandstanding. Time and time again, Max has shown up for kids in our district and spoken up to ensure they have safe, welcoming spaces to learn and grow. I wish more engaged citizens followed his example: refusing to sit on the sidelines, choosing action over frustration, and stepping into the ring to make a difference.”

“Max Maher is the kind of leader our schools need right now. In my work as a therapist supporting youth, I’ve seen how critical it is for students to feel safe, supported, and accepted at school. Max has been a consistent advocate for creating those environments and for ensuring every student has the opportunity to learn and thrive. He will lead with empathy, thoughtfulness, and a clear commitment to student well-being.”
