|
"Having three children in the Pasco School District gives me a vested interest in the success of the District. Students are our future and I feel it is important that we allow children to be as successful as they can be. Having a strong school system in place is key in providing for that success. Our District faces some unique challenges and I am eager to work with the other board members and our superintendent to meet those challenges. Pursuing a board position also comes from my respect and admiration for our teachers. Over my career, I have had the opportunity to work with different schools and teachers and I am always amazed with the job that teachers are able to do with what they have. I feel it is important to support our teachers’ efforts and get them anything that we can to help them with their task of teaching our children." |
