Why would someone want to run for a volunteer position that requires over a hundred hours a month of time without compensation? Some run because they have a chip on their shoulder or a special interest to promote.

For Gary Suppiger, running for Lake Pend Oreille School Board, Zone 2 trustee seat, it’s because he is dedicated to ensuring that all students have a first-rate education. First rate looks different for each student because each is unique.

As a current board member, Suppiger strongly supports our traditional public school options and access to an alternative high school program.  He also supports LPOSD’s two options for homeschooling programs. He is committed to maintaining a variety of learning options that fit the needs of every family and student.

If you support a school board trustee who supports all kids, please join me in voting for Gary Suppiger on Nov. 2.
