Thanks Anne for all th good reasons. I am always flummoxed when it comes to picking school board. It is such hard work and such a thankless job, I am surprised anyone runs. Ruth sounds like a winner to me.

Thank you for encouraging Portland School District voters to support Ruth for School Board!
I would like to ask you and your audience to consider also supporting the other challenger, Michele Schultz. Michele has a 20-year career as a social worker and has spent a great deal of that time helping troubled youth. She also has experience recruiting and hiring professionals, which is a crucial task facing the School Board at this time. And she is the mother of two children who attend Portland Public Schools.
Portland Area Rethinking Schools describes Michele as “a surprising breath of fresh air . . . well versed in the controversial issues. . . .” The Portland Mercury’s endorsement says, “. . . like Adkins, she also wants to improve communication between the various interest groups in Portland’s Public Schools.” Michele has also been endorsed by the Northwest Labor Council and many, many parents, teachers, and concerned citizens, including several members of the Neighborhood Schools Alliance Steering Committee. What Michele will bring to the Portland School Board is a “bottom-up” rather than a “top-down” approach to any needed changes, as well as a “hands-off” approach where changes are NOT needed!

Southwest neighbors can meet Michele in person this Sunday at the Hillsdale Farmers market and Rieke Art Show.
