"What Kind of School Board Will You Vote For April 4th?"

Seat 1 Candidate Maya Cole:

I've got this stopwatch in my house that my campaign manager gave me for practicing speeches. The problem is that I can't figure out how to stop it; and, it occassionally will sound off from the deep recessess of my laptop bag. It goes off probably once a day.

My kids pretend it's a ticking timebomb. I think of it as a reminder to use every day wisely. It is a metaphor for my school board campaign that will be decided on April 4th.

So I kindly suggest to voters and supporters to concentrate on the issues. The task before you is one of choosing your school board; and make no mistake, this race is about status quo or investing in something new.

To help you out I have taken the liberty of providing five characteristics that make an effective school board. I see these suggestions as a guideline for change. Read them and then try to guess the source.
