Letter to the editor: Vote Gini Bradley for school board, yes on 4A

I’m
encouraging Summit County voters to open their 2019 mail-in ballot, learn about
the candidates and issues, and exercise the right to vote. 

Vote for
Gini Bradley for the Summit School District school board. Bradley has the
experience and is a strong advocate for families, children and Summit County. She
has been involved professionally with the school district for decades,
including work to develop the first school safety plan, the 4-year-old
preschool plan, the after-school program plan and, most recently, the land-use
management plan for the district. On a personal level, Bradley is a parent of two
thriving grown children who went pre-K to 12 through Summit School District,
and she understands the challenges of raising children in our mountain
community. 

Bradley is
a thoughtful, highly intelligent, motivated, open-minded individual who spends
time learning about the subject matter at hand to make impactful decisions. I
have known her for more than 20 years and worked with her through a variety of
community projects. She has never been someone to shy away from creatively
tackling difficult issues, and for all these reasons, I know she is the right
person to guide our school district.

Vote yes
on 4A, a ballot initiative that allows the Summit School District to reallocate
the monies from a previous property tax mill levy that supported full-day kindergarten
to supporting teachers’ salaries and students’ mental health. When our Colorado
Legislature passed full-day kindergarten last session, this meant that
communities like ours, which had funding in place for full-day kindergarten,
couldn’t reallocate those funds to other needs without voter approval. Ballot
measure 4A means no new property taxes and keeps our Summit schools strong.

Please
vote for Gini Bradley for school board and yes on 4A.
