Adams has proven herself with work on Snohomish School Board

As a prior Snohomish School board member for twelve years I have some insight as to what the job involves. Sarah Adams, like me, was appointed to fill in a term in District 4 and then to run for full terms. We both had children in the schools of our district and recognized the importance of working collaboratively with teachers, administration and the public to make the whole system function effectively.

Adams has proven that she works well with her fellow board members and has gained experience and developed new innovative ideas for the district. She has the skills, knowledge, experience and motivation to move the Snohomish School District forward. For the good of the district lets stay with our current well functioning team.
