Hill-McIntyre submitted the following statement to the Whatcom County voters' guide:[1]
| “ | My vision as your School Board member would be to increase opportunity for all students, providing an enriching and equitable education for children in Bellingham. My time volunteering in the classroom, working with District administration, various schools, and teachers gives me a well-rounded view of the interworking of Bellingham School District.
Both of my daughters attended Bellingham Public Schools and graduated from Sehome. Over the last 14 years I have seen the accomplishments and challenges that our District faces on a daily basis. I am passionate about public education and feel that it is a right for all children to have access to programs that are provided from pre-K to 12th grade. I also see that our education system is struggling to keep up with technology and preparing our students for their futures. I would advocate for more classes such as coding to be implemented in our schools as well as technical education that can help our students meet their needs in today's job market. With my extensive experience and knowledge, I am qualified and prepared to work for students, families and staff district-wide. For dedicated, passionate, and experienced community leadership I ask for your vote.[3] |
