Choose Debbie Straus for Kent School Board | Letter

Published 10:13 am Friday, October 14, 2011

I am writing in support of Debbie Straus in the upcoming Kent School District school board election on Nov. 8.

Debbie is serving her first term on the school board and her 23 years of experience as a volunteer in the schools has brought forth collaborative work among the board and the school district.

I believe in Debbie’s ability to safeguard our community’s investment in its students and our public schools. She has consistently demonstrated her commitment in balancing academic excellence with important cost-saving measures; being an advocate for all students and doing it with integrity.

The upcoming election is critical to the success of Kent School District as the district faces challenges that require experienced, proven leadership that is focused on solutions. I am confident that Debbie is the best candidate and I encourage you to join me and vote for Straus.
