Goding provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in King County:
| “ | Support High Education Goals for All Students
While I have been on the Highline School Board we have set high goals for our students in reading, math and behavior. Math scores are up. K-5 students have a new music curriculum, GamePlan. The new Strategic Plan provides more opportunities for students to learn another language. Wants All Students Able to Follow Their Dream I care about not only what students are taught but also how students are educated. It is important that students learn in a creative, self-directed and high achieving environment. I want Highline to be the leader in great ideas, to recognize good ideas when we see them, and to duplicate the best innovative ideas of other school districts. Students should graduate capable and ready for their future. Thank you for your past support and I hope you will support me for re-election to Highline School Director, District 3.[4] |
