Meet the Candidates: School Board Director Dist. 5: Lisa Pyper

Lisa Pyper, School Board Director District 5

Occupation: Certified Commercial

Construction/QA Inspector . Teacher . Community Volunteer

Education: University of Washington plus extensive training and certifications

Statement: 22 years as an inspector, 10 years teaching classes to Washington’s inspectors and building officials, President of NKCLL ‘08, ‘09, ‘10 seasons.

With $150 million at stake in construction projects, I’d like to bring my expertise in school construction to the table. I’ve seen school districts saddled with the burden of budget overruns, delays, poor quality workmanship and a lot of finger pointing. Ultimately, the parents (taxpayers) are left frustrated and disappointed with their finished school. Worse, the kids and educators are left to function in chaotic, sometimes hazardous situations.

I bring “boots on the ground” experience to assist the board with construction related decisions as well as accountability, transparency and communications. Shoreline boasts an excellent education system and our schools should reflect it. I want to see these projects completed on time and within budget. Allow me to work for you and our kids.

Thank you for your vote!
