How: "We set up a political action committee and 146 of 150 mem- bers decided to donate to the PAC. We applied for ABC funds and we've had lots of support from CTA staff. We had a six teacher panel interview our candidates. "Success will be on election night when we see our candi- dates win — that will give us three of five on the board who will be teacher-friendly." In back, CUEA President Lorraine Angel, PAC Treasurer Shannon Kenney, board member Ryan Smith. In front, board members Renetta Hale and Kaarn Egge. What: "MTA has endorsed school board candidates Kyle Root, Jackie Johansen and Kenyon Jenkins." Above left, MTA-endorsed candidates Why: "MTA has met many challenges over the last quarter-century as their com- munity has grown from a small, unincorporated area to a city of more than 75,000. The need for visionary leadership is clear, with issues of continued growth and district unification still unresolved. MTA leaders describe their slate of candidates as longstanding, respected members of the community who will advance a student-centered agenda where everyone has the tools, resources, and opportunities necessary for success. MTA endorsed a slate of school board members in each of the open trustee areas. If successful, the new board majority will ensure the future is secured for students, teachers and the school district."
