Cheesebrough provided the following statement to the local voters' pamphlets in King and Snohomish Counties:[1]

"As a parent to four children in the Northshore School District, I want to ensure that NSD maintains high-quality education for our children, and that our community continues to be an attractive destination for people to live and work. However, I am concerned that the District is losing its focus on children. The next four years will be critical. Plans are being made to change the length of the school day and school boundaries, build a new high school, and modify grade configurations. Many families will be directly affected by these transformations, yet are not being consulted over whether they want them. As your School Board Director, I will be an advocate for kids. I will listen to parents and teachers, engage community in major decisions, exercise fiscal responsibility, and prioritize a quality educational experience for our children." |
