It has been an honor to serve as your current Renton School Board Director (District 5) since taking the oath of office in late February 2021. I stepped up during one of our most trying times as a society, just as COVID case rates in our area hit their peak. Leading with courage, humility, passion, curiosity, and inclusion, I look forward to earning your vote and continuing to serve our community for the next four years.

I am a fierce advocate for public school education and its role as the foundation for our society, economy, health, and well-being. I come from a family with many teachers, and I hold the utmost respect for our dedicated educators and staff.

My professional discipline is continuous improvement, and I bring this lens to my role as school board director. The pace of change in our world is only increasing, and we must innovate and adapt to prepare our students to thrive now and in the future. Change is uncomfortable, but it is also where the growth occurs.

Let’s work together to build a brighter and more just future. Vote Scovel for Schools!
