Business College, Longview, W A PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Served on the GSD Long-Range Facilities Planning
Committee. Dear Patrons of GSD: I ask for your vote for Position #2 for the GSD
Board. My husband and I live in the middle of our
district, just a few miles from Gervais. I graduated from GHS, and now have a
daughter attending GHS, and three children in grades 7, 4, and 1 attending
Bethany Charter School. As each child finishes 8th grade we plan to bring them
to GHS. I value: *Quality education with strong academics, in a
safe and positive environment *Financial responsibility and accountability from
board *Board attentive and concerned with issues that
concern patrons and parents *Stewardship and maintenance of existing buildings
and facilities-we owe it to our community to care for the facilities their tax
dollars have built *Offering families the option to transfer to other
districts-because it is the right thing to do I would: *Vote to maintain facilities we have, rather than
build new ones at this time *Direct resources to programs that directly impact
classroom instruction and create new opportunities for students *Support re-opening borders to transfers to other
districts *Work to make GSD a place families want to
transfer INTO, not out of *Work to reconcile the division and resolve the
controversy that has plagued our district for too many years I believe that GSD has a lot to offer to students
and their families, and I would like to have a part in ensuring that GSD is a
thriving part of our community for generations to come. Thank you for caring about education in our
community, and for participating in the election process by casting your vote! Lorraine Martin (This
