Why elect Debbie Donovan-Race #2?
I have a deep conviction for the work the Boise School District does to prepare ALL students to meet the challenges they will face in the future.
I am committed to supporting the work the school district has done to provide welcoming and safe learning environments for ALL students to prepare them to meet the challenges they will face in the future. I appreciate the important role our teachers and staff play in providing support for our students to access all learning opportunities which provide them hope for their future.
Developing connections and engaging with stakeholders, including student voices has always been a strength of mine. This includes taking the time to actively LISTEN to all, treat everyone respectfully and value their input. This was a skill that served me well as a teacher, principal and a district administrator.
I am dedicated to continue to give back to this incredible school district by serving the community and school district as a trustee. I realize the importance of the Board of Trustees in supporting the efforts that are happening in the schools. However, this can not be done without the support of a thriving community which we are all part of. The board greatly appreciates the work our community does to support and promote the Boise School District.
