I would like to express my support for Rick Donahoe to continue to serve on the Richland School Board. I've met with Rick to better understand his perspectives on education and to discuss some of the current concerns.

As a professor of education, I am intimately aware of issues facing students, and as a consequence, the school board. Rick has the management experience to deal effectively with our current budget concerns and is conversant on effective learning strategies.

The students in our public schools are increasingly representative of the diverse community we serve. As a consequence, our schools must adapt to effectively serve them. To become citizens of the global community, it is imperative our children are challenged to think from multiple perspectives. Rick is a strong advocate for the liberal education of all of our students.

When I first applied to be a candidate to run against Rick, I was unclear of his stand on critical issues that impact student learning. I now hope to eventually serve with Rick Donahoe on the Richland School Board.

Please show your support by voting for Rick Donahoe, Position 3 on the Richland School Board. Thank you.

Elizabeth "Liza" Nagel, Richland
