School Board candidates Anne Burke and Scott McVarish announced today that they have received the support of six of the Culver City elected officials who have taken a stand for the Nov. 3 election.
“One of the most critical tasks the School Board is engaged in,” said Board member Kathy Paspalis, “is ensuring that Measure CC bond funds are spent wisely, fairly, and effectively.
“Anne and Scott have done their homework. They understand the need for a school bond. They worked for it from the start. They are well-prepared to handle the complex issues involved.”
City Councilman Jeff Cooper echoed Ms. Paspalis’s confidence. “Anne and Scott have received the support of so many community leaders because they are informed and intelligent. They have proven their commitment to our children and our schools.”
The candidates have earned the support of School Board members Laura Chardiet and Steve Levin, and Councilmen Jim Clarke and Andy Weissman.
“Anne and I are ready to build on our District’s successes,” Mr. McVarish said, “and take our schools to the next level. We bring different and complementary skills, experiences and perspectives to the table. We hope Culver City voters will give us the opportunity to serve.”
Ms. Burke and Mr. McVarish are running for the two open seats.
