I have known Ann Seddon for close to 10 years. During that time I have met few who could match her passion and devotion to the cause of education. As a retired educator, Ann understands what works. She is a detail-oriented person who takes things to pieces. In her short length of service on the board she has already detected, thoroughly researched and put into place a policy to correct a previously undetected deficiency in mathematical skills at the elementary level. For effective leadership, I urge you to vote Ann Seddon for school district Zone 4 trustee.

In a period of tightening budgets and ever-increasing demands upon public education, Brent Regan has the unique skill-set to meet the challenge. He is a gifted thinker and doer, who has grown a successful business by routinely solving problems labeled “too tough” or “insoluble” by others. In these challenging times, Coeur d’Alene needs Brent Regan. Vote for Brent for Zone 1 trustee.

I have only had the pleasure of knowing Bjorn Handeen a few years. He is a devoted father, an amiable, unfailingly optimistic, and intelligent team player. He is truly the compassionate conservative. I know he is ready to address the problems facing the school district in a clear-headed, open-minded and energetic fashion. I recommend Bjorn Handeen for s Zone 5 trustee. Vote Ann Seddon, Brent Regan and Bjorn Handeen.
