Meek deserves your vote

I would like to extend my gratitude to Wendy Vogel for representing my area, District A, on the Douglas County School Board for these past four years. Wendy has been a true advocate for the children of Douglas County, and she has done so with integrity and grace. The position of school board director in Douglas County is a volunteer position — there is no salary. I greatly appreciate the amount of time and energy Wendy has devoted to continuous improvement of our school district. During Wendy’s tenure, teacher turnover is down and fiscal responsibility, budget transparency, and community engagement are up.

Wendy has endorsed Susan Meek for her seat in this November’s election. I could not more wholeheartedly agree. As a public school teacher (in another district), I am familiar with Susan’s work as a public education advocate, at both the district and state levels. Susan is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about ensuring that our students have access to the best possible education. She knows that for students to achieve, our schools need to be safe and welcoming communities where opportunity, innovation and accountability are prioritized. I urge all voters in Douglas County to learn more about what Susan stands for (www.susanmeekfordcsd.com). I think you’ll agree she is the best choice to represent District A in DCSD.
