Lacey provided the following statement for the local voters' pamphlets in King and Snohomish Counties:[4]
|
"With 20 years experience in education, I’m passionate about what I do and understand that our focus needs to be on the kids. As a teacher and district parent, I know Northshore is a phenomenal school district and that we can be even better. We have high expectations for our district. That is why I’ve worked successfully to raise student achievement, increase access to more rigorous coursework and support innovative programs. As Board President, I strive for accountability and openness. That means setting clear, measurable goals and always including stakeholders in the decision-making process. I will continue working to address the needs of all learners, expand opportunities in science and math, and prepare all students for college and beyond while maintaining a fiscally responsible budget." |
