I worked with Lori Oviatt on the Riverview Board from 2006 until spring of 2015.    During that time, Lori served as a board member at large, as board vice president, and also as board president.   I endorse Lori for re-election to the RSD board because she:

– has done the hard work of learning the issues, jargon, and players in public education in WA State and our community – something that can take years to accomplish.

– refuses to deal in speculation; she wants to know what the facts are and where they came from.

– is open to new ways of looking at a problems.

– listens to community input and then choses what her experience and perspective believe is right.

– and has learned to understand the very distinct roles of the school board, the superintendent, staff, and the community as they relate to providing public education.

And while Lori is a really big sports fan, I can see her pride in the success of our students in the wide variety of other academic and extracurricular events and activities!
