Teachers and students deserve the best educational environment we can give them. What determines the quality of this environment is the school board members we elect to oversee our schools. Lisa May and Rebecca Smith are incumbent Coeur d’Alene School Board trustees running for another term. Lindsey Swingrover is running for the first time. Collectively, they will maintain the quality leadership we expect from our school board.This Friday, the Dem Club will hear from these exceptional school board candidates. Together. they will outline their goals for preserving and improving our public education system.

May, Smith and Swingrover are rational trustee candidates who will listen to the experts to find valid, practical solutions to the problems facing our schools. They are capable of understanding and critically examining the issues and finding solutions that best serve the needs of the entire community.
During the past year or so, our school board and other local government agencies have endured intimidation and deliberate disruption by mis-informed factions seeking to undermine efforts to mitigate COVID health risks among other issues. Rather than seeking to find common ground and compromise, these antagonistic protesters have been set on promoting chaos. If you haven’t witnessed the effects of these disruptive efforts, watch this video of a recent school board meeting.
