Vicki Opsata brings stability to board

We would like to express our strong support for Vicki Opsata, candidate for Position 1 on the Northshore School Board. Vicki has been an active member of the education community for over 15 years. She has served in PTA, in civic organizations and on district committees. Vicki has served on the board for the past year. She has spent her time wisely, learning about issues facing the school district and working with her colleagues on the board. As a board member, Vicki’s decisions reflect what is best for all students in the school district. She is committed to continuing the excellence for which Northshore is well known.

Because candidates in Positions 4 and 5 are running unopposed, there will be two new members on the board after the November election. Vicki Opsata has an opponent and we believe that it is critical for Vicki to be elected to help ensure stability on the school board. Vicki works well with the current board members. She has shown that she can build consensus and that she is a team player. She understands the role of a board member and represents the community in her decision-making. Vicki is ready, willing and able to meet the challenge of higher standards for students. We urge you to join us in voting for Vicki on Nov. 6.
