Campaign themes
2017
Kintzley submitted the following statement to the Benton County voters' guide:[8]
| “ | For years, constituents of the Kennewick School District have benefitted from a high-functioning School Board. Our successes are many: 85-90% of 3rd graders continue to meet the District's benchmark reading goal; over 90% of 8th graders are enrolled in some level of algebra; graduation rates have increased; and more options for student success exist with programs such as Delta (STEM), Legacy Online, CBC High School Academy, and Mid-Columbia Partnership. The District has also hired and retained phenomenal teachers for our students by providing competitive wages and benefits, reduced workplace injuries by half, increased students' sense of safety at school to over 90%, and added more extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities (athletics and clubs) for students. Further, the District has invested over $300 million in school facility construction to provide secure, comfortable and technologically current schools where our students can thrive academically and socially.
As a 4th generation graduate of Kennewick High School, I have deep roots in this community. My own little ones are proud Ridge View Coyotes! I am proud of the decisions I have made on behalf of the Kennewick School District, and I would be honored to continue my service to this great community.[9] |
