Unfortunately the numbers just weren’t what we had hoped for. I am so grateful for the support of this community - regardless of the results of the election, we will continue to protect our students and community as a whole, and work towards creating safe and welcoming schools that work for us all. The fight doesn’t stop here - Area 1 and 2 are up for election in 2026 and it will need to be all hands on deck to get our school board back from these extremists. I’m not giving up, and I hope you’ll join me in continuing to fight for our schools.

In solidarity, your neighbor Val
