ELECTIONS: Cynthia Hudson and Siri Bliesner file to run for Lake Washington School Board


Cynthia Hudson, Candidate for Lake Washington School Board District One
District  #1 is the Kirkland/Juanita area represented by Jackie Pendergrass
 CYNTHIA HUDSON HAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE RACE (see her website) 

*Parent to three children *Resident of Seattle area since 1995 * LWSD resident since 1999 * Graduate of UW School of Pharmacy * Graduate of Vanderbilt University *National Merit Finalist from high school * Community Volunteer *PTSA member

I want to work with the district to create a predictable school schedule so that parents ready to get back to work as the economy recovers can have some regularity for employment. I understand the purpose of early release Wednesdays, noon releases, LEAP days, and Thursday-Friday-Monday breaks, but most job seekers can’t find meaningful jobs with that kind of flexibility.

It is a shame that our legislature feels that cutting teacher pay is an appropriate way to deal with decreasing tax revenues. Teachers must be paid commensurately for the challenging job of mentoring our children 180 days each year. Teaching is rewarding in itself, but our teachers are professionals who require appropriate pay and benefits.

It is thrilling to imagine helping guide the education of tomorrow’s citizens and leaders. What better investment for the future than the education of our children?
