Return Douthitt to board
Bob Douthitt has served Spokane’s public schools students very well during his time on the school board and is its current president. During his tenure, the graduation rate has increased nearly 20 percent, budgeting has been tied to the district’s strategic goals, and our good teachers are receiving the support that they deserve.
Douthitt believes in an excellent public education for all students, and that is evident every day in his approach to the position of school board member. He truly cares and works hard on behalf of kids.
Working with Douthitt on the Spokane Public School Foundation board has provided me with the opportunity to get to know him and to understand more about his commitment to the success of all students from every walk of life. That is important to me.
Please join me in returning Bob Douthitt to the Spokane Public School Board and continue the momentum he is leading.
