As a former teacher in the CCUSD, it gives me great pride to endorse incumbent Kathy Paspalis for School Board in Tuesday’s election.
I have had the opportunity to work with many quality people in this city whose primary interest was to make a difference in our children’s lives.
Ms. Paspalis is one of those special people.
For years the overused mantra has been “for the kids”. This had a hollow ring. It has not been for the kids but rather for others’ self-importance and ambitions.
As a 31-year resident of Culver City, I worked tirelessly to align myself in activities, sports, education, mentoring that were genuinely “for the kids”.
I know and trust that Ms. Paspalis, as a School Board member, has made decisions over the last four years that were truly primarily “for the kids.” This phrase does not have a hollow ring when she is concerned. It is a truism.
I am supporting Ms. Paspalis because of her track record, her willingness to step up and make a difference, and her ability to be inclusive of those who are truly “for the kids.”
