Ewers provided the following statement on her campaign website:
| “ | As a new mother-to-be this spring…a resident of the Kyrene district…and a long-time advocate for public education, I believe that every child deserves an education that will unlock their full potential and challenge them to be the best that they can be. However, with the continual slashing of public education funding, our students are in jeopardy of not receiving such an education.
As an “A” rated school district, the Kyrene School District has been successful in overcoming the challenges that these cuts have created to date. My goal is to keep it that way. Thus, as a School Board member I will support a balanced budget that will serve to strengthen and secure our schools over the long-term. There is little question that our teachers and administrators are doing the best job that they can, even during these times when there is no money to be wasted. I will work to pinch every penny possible, support policies that give the Kyrene District direction, and set priorities to further secure the goals of strong education without having to sacrifice our students and teachers. As a committee member of the Arizona Science Fair and the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair, I have experienced first-hand what positive educational opportunities provide to students, teachers, and parents. I want to ensure that the same kind of opportunities are right inside our schools. This experience, coupled with my expertise as a successful business woman of a local small business, HP2, Inc., enables me to serve as a responsible School Board member who will work tirelessly to safeguard the successes, reputation, and student productivity in the Kyrene School District. As a graduate of the Arizona public school system and the University of Arizona, it is my platform to ensure that our students of today receive the same foundation of education that I received which enabledme [sic] to achieve many of my dreams. Please support your public schools and vote for Allison Ewers for the Kyrene School Board this November 4th.[5][6] |
