Fullmer for excellence

Why drop out of the election? Because Sally Fullmer is that good.

I filed for the school board election because too many kids with good high school GPAs hadn’t learned to do simple math or write a coherent sentence in my classes at SFCC. Our kids don’t have three years for administrators to fix the problems. I want to make it possible for teachers to teach and kids to learn. A diploma should mean the graduate is ready for the world, college or a job. Ask any HR director if graduates are ready.

One candidate, Sally Fullmer, is as committed as I am to changing the schools for the better. She’s so impressive that I chose to drop out of the race to support her.

Another candidate has massive support from organizations dedicated to continuing mediocrity. These special interests chose and trained her before anybody filed. Why do you think they spend money to maintain poor administration?

You have a choice. Mediocre administration with a special interest candidate, or a shot at an actual education for our kids. Kids need to learn English, math and science, not just play at it.

Vote for Sally Fullmer for school board.
