Trustee: You can trust me

In a letter to the Coeur d’Alene Press, Trustee Carol Goodman of the Post Falls School Board responds to editorial criticism of her recent testimony in Boise in favor of public funding for private schools:

I’d like to address the March 4 Press editorial, which misrepresents my dedication to PFSD. I have always been an avid supporter of the Post Falls School District. Prior to last year’s election, I went door-to-door to inform citizens of the virtues of the new school bond. I explained that the district has been a good steward of our tax dollars; our current needs; and lower interest rates. It passed by approximately 70 percent. Thank you Post Falls! I attend the regular meetings, enjoy school events, all statewide SB meetings and Day on the Hill where we sit in on Legislative sessions involving school issues. This year there is a bill which I support. The bill would allow funds to “follow the child.” If a parent chooses to send their child to a private school, the funds allocated per child would assist in paying the tuition. Parents know what is best for their child. More here.
