Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your representative on the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors. Since I joined the Board in 2015, we have worked hard to make sure all of our students are prepared for tomorrow’s jobs and can tackle tomorrow’s problems. We have focused on equity in our schools and invested in new college and career readiness programs. We are now seeing the results. The District’s on-time graduation rate just reached an all-time high of 93.6%. And this year, 91.4% of our high school students – more than ever before – are taking classes for which they can also receive college credit.

Our work is not finished. In my next term, I will continue fighting for more community engagement, innovative approaches to education, and cost-effective school design to improve education and provide the classroom space our students need to succeed.

It has been a privilege serving as your Board Member. I appreciate your vote!
