Candidates are:
I am supporting Jennifer Marsh because she brings experience and understanding as a long-time resident of our community (one who is engaged – having been registered to vote in Orange County since 1996 and with a strong history of voting); as a parent with a special needs child; and as a legal and educational advocate for social change to improve outcomes for all children.

Katherine would be an amazing choice since she has been a teacher in the system for quite some time. Lots of good folks listed. This is going to be a hard decission for the board.
