Last Call for School Board Candidates
Here are the latest additions. I suspect there may still be a couple more additions before the filing deadline today at 4 pm.
District IV (Director Peters' district)
Darrell Toland. His website link is for a graphic design business under his name but his LinkedIn page indicates he works at the company called Precor. He writes a web-comic, Stix and Bones.
This makes seven people vying for this position.
District V (Director Blanford's district)
Alec Cooper. Cooper works for Amazon. My understanding is that he does currently have children in SPS. He does not have a campaign website but has a Facebook page.
He has a statement there that includes better management, HCC, and accountability. About Him:
Having worked in business and technology for 25 years my focus has been solving complex problems, understanding & meeting customer needs and getting results. I want to bring these skills and experience to SPS. I am a past President and Treasurer of the Garfield PTSA and a parent with two children in SPS and one in private schoolOmar Vasquez. A lawyer at Davis, Wright, Tremaine, one of the largest law firms in Seattle. He was in TFA and serves on their WA alumni board. He is also on the six-member Washington state board of directors for Summit charter schools in Washington. He is a member of couple of Hispanic professional groups and was on the Mayor’s Education Summit Advisory Group, City of Seattle, 2016. Re the Summit work:
Omar has experience advising education-related nonprofits, ed tech startups, and charter schools. Prior to law school, Omar taught AP Calculus for six years in Arizona through Teach for America. The board members will be charged with the governance of Summit’s schools in Washington state. These duties include adopting policies, approving budgets and ensuring the schools meet the needs of the communities they serve.From TFA Washington's profile of him:
Education area you are most passionate about:From his Twitter feed:
Reimagining curriculum for the 21st century
The responsibility of schools is to make children aware of our information environments, which have become our entertainment environments.I will just say at this point that the entrance of pro-charter candidates in the LA School Board race saw very accelerated fundraising.
Andre Helmstetter. He is a Senior Consultant at Matisia Consultants, a consulting firm that certainly does work in areas that SPS needs help in. He does have a campaign website but the link does not appear to be working. He coached chess at Leschi Elementary for two years. He is bi-racial and has two children. He ran for school board in 2009 and both the Times and I endorsed him at that time. He received a recommendation of "Good" from the Muni Board at that time.
Candace Vaivadas. She is the Owner and Principal Investigator at Vaivadas Legal Research & Investigations. Post K-12 she was educated in London and Switzerland. She appears to do other work but I'll have to verify that.
District VII
Director Betty Patu is running. She is finishing her second term on the Board.
Tony Hemphill. He is a chiropractor who also has an MBA and graduated from Garfield in 1991.
