It's Official!!!

Well as of today I am officially a candidate for the Jordan School District (West) Pct. 6.

It was an interseting experience. I had to swear (with my right hand raised) that I was a US citizen, registered to vote, live in the area that I would be electd from and plan to continue living there during my term. 

I now will start organizing my committee and preparing flyers and signs. The first sign of course will go in my yard.  That will be weird to see my name on signs in people's yards. I hope to be able to draw on support from other families who are tired of lip service and want to do what ever is best for our children. I have a vision of a school board that is very responsive to the needs of our consituents. One that cares more about our kids than egos. I plan to talk plainly and directly. I want to be a voice of a parent who is in the trenches not one who was there 10 plus years ago.
