Guymon provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Snohomish County:[5]
|
"I am the outsider in this race and a concerned district parent and taxpayer just like you. The public seems to have been largely ignored in recent years by the School Board elected to represent them. I intend to change that by making those who matter the most (students, teachers and families) my top and constant priority. As I have done for the last 2 years as the founder of the citizen's action group, The Everett School Board Project, I will ask the questions you want asked and lead with you in mind. As an Everett School Board Director I promise to: -Lead with the students, teachers and families of the district as my priority -Seek prudent classroom-focused financial management. Kids First! -Communicate with the public in the spirit of transparency and respect -Respect teachers who work tirelessly to prepare our students for success -Seek innovative educational solutions that engage our 21st century students -Help create a positive educational environment that pushes Everett Schools to the top. Visit my website for more information. Please join me and together we can make a difference." |
