Why are you running for election to the Sonoita School District Board? The Sonoita-Elgin area is a unique and truly special place. Between the climate, tight-knight community, safety of the area, and quality of the school, we chose this area to be our forever home (upon my retirement). In our years of travel from literally one corner of this country to the other we have never lived in such a great area. I wish to continue to serve our local community in a greater role and will work to maintain and continue to grow the excellent ratings, educational opportunities provided, and unmatched staff that we enjoy today with our school today. I am a firm believer of “when our school is successful, our community is successful”.
