Campaign themes
2013
Barney provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in King County:[5]
|
"As a father and grandfather I understand the importance of the educational needs of all students. Federal Way Public Schools has reached out and reduced the achievement and education gaps, reached out into the community to bring parents and community members into our schools and we have worked with businesses, community leaders and families to create a more open environment for all in our schools. We have high expectations for our district. That is why I’ve worked successfully to raise student achievement, increase access to more rigorous coursework and support innovative programs. We have successfully refinanced bonds, saving taxpayers millions of dollars; won a $40 million regional grant through the Road Map initiative to improve student access to early learning, Science Technology Engineering and Math, and college/career pathway opportunities. I have seen firsthand the struggles individuals face without the educational supports as a youth and the struggles they face in the work force today. As a school board member I will continue to bring programs and opportunities to all students. Our children are our most valuable asset we must provide for their educational needs. My focus is parental involvement, academic success, and support for all to overcome academic barriers." |
