Letter to the Editor: Why I'm voting for Jill Brady

To the Editor:

In response to the Letter to the Editor on October 27 regarding the upcoming School Board election, whatever title a candidate has previously held does not matter nearly as much as the candidate having the proper experience.

While being a community college instructor is an important profession, it is not as pertinent to the School Board position as being an expert on K-12 policy or curriculum - or having the expertise to provide oversight and management of a multi-million dollar K-12 education system. Jill Brady has not only been a PTA officer and leader for 14 years, she has:

- Broad district experience and connections as Co-President/Trustee of the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation
- Deep understanding of curriculum and district priorities as a member of multiple district committees
- Comprehensive knowledge of education funding challenges as an education advocate and member of four successful bond/levy campaigns that have provided crucial funding and support for our Shoreline schools

Jill Brady also has the perspective of a parent who has experienced all three levels of our K-12 system and is familiar with the schools, staff, teachers and parents in our district. It is the totality and breadth of these experiences, along with her background in business and deep roots in our community, that make her the right choice to serve as our next school board member.

My vote is for Jill Brady!
