GPS Board Endorsements--Make Your Voice Heard!


It is time to send in those mail-in ballots! If you are a traditional kind of voter (you know, the patriotic citizen that enjoys the actual feel of the voting booth), remember to visit the polls on Tuesday, November 4th. Either way, make sure your voice is heard! Just in case anybody is wondering, we are endorsing three candidates for our local Gilbert Public School Board (there are three seats open and four candidates running). Holly, Katie, and I have spent a considerable amount of time speaking to each of these three ladies; we are highly confident they will listen to the needs of the special education community and do a fine job representing the interest of all students in GPS. Please vote for EJ Anderson, Helen Hollands--incumbent and current GPS Board President, and Adelaida Severson.


Click on EJ's picture and bio, above, and it will pop up in a window that makes it readable. EJ came to our August EVAN meeting and answered questions from our members.


Just a reminder: Adelaida will be stopping by our next EVAN meeting, Tuesday, October 21, 7 pm, at my home in Gilbert, to answer any questions you may have about her and her views on education. Kathryn Cummard, Head of the Autism Demonstration Team for GPS, will be our main guest speaker.
