Letter: Vote Donahoe for Richland School Board

Steadfast and enduring support. I use these words to describe Rick Donahoe as he seeks to continue to serve the Richland schools on the school board.

Having known Rick and his family for many years, Rick is a clear-thinking leader. His manner is to listen, ask questions and then with insightful wisdom, address the issues effectively. While demonstrating his respect for others he is able to communicate and still stand on the principal conviction that the success of students is the most important role of the school system, and thus his job on the school board is to assure that success.

Rick is often in the schools and knows many of the students by name, often working on various school programs, such as supporting Hanford drama. In fact, many times I have seen Rick take time, stop to listen to both students and parents, seeking their input hearing those ideas and affirming their insight. Rick strives to remain focused on the substantive is sues for all Richland schools. I support Rick Donahoe for Richland School Board, position 3.
