Re-elect Bob Douthitt

Sat., Sept. 14, 2013

We urge Spokane voters to re-elect Bob Douthitt to the school board. Douthitt’s dedication, clear vision and experience are invaluable. We commend Superintendent Shelley Redinger, the school board and Spokane School District for their strategic planning and we need to keep the momentum going.

Douthitt has extensive experience in business, law and community involvement. He is a creative, innovative thinker who asks the tough questions and consistently works for higher achievement for all students. He wholeheartedly and enthusiastically supports teachers, parents and the greater community.

Please join us in supporting Bob Douthitt for re-election to the Spokane School Board. He has an unquestionable commitment to Spokane schools.
