Jones ready to lead

I am a career educator in Idaho and am concerned with the current state of education for our children and support for our educators.

I have worked with Dr. Jana Jones for over 30 years as a colleague in early education and as a colleague during her tenure as state director of special education and chief deputy superintendent of public instruction under Dr. Marilyn Howard. She has equal skill and passion for children and families, and for working honestly and effectively in fiscal and political arenas.

What Jones wants for Idaho’s kids is simple: safe schools, great teachers, smaller class sizes and challenging classes that prepare our kids for the future of their choice.

Jones is a fourth-generation Idahoan who has spent over 40 years in education. She knows the job, and will be able to hit the ground running.

After her selection as the Republican nominee, Tom Luna introduced Sherri Ybarra, and told reporters she would continue the work he’s done the past eight years. We can’t let that happen. Idaho can’t lose another generation of students to Ybarra’s bad ideas.

Please join me in supporting Dr. Jana Jones for superintendent of public instruction in Idaho.
