Bradley has the<br \/>\nexperience and is a strong advocate for families, children and Summit County. She<br \/>\nhas been involved professionally with the school district for decades,<br \/>\nincluding work to develop the first school safety plan, the 4-year-old<br \/>\npreschool plan, the after-school program plan and, most recently, the land-use<br \/>\nmanagement plan for the district. On a personal level, Bradley is a parent of two<br \/>\nthriving grown children who went pre-K to 12 through Summit School District,<br \/>\nand she understands the challenges of raising children in our mountain<br \/>\ncommunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bradley is<br \/>\na thoughtful, highly intelligent, motivated, open-minded individual who spends<br \/>\ntime learning about the subject matter at hand to make impactful decisions. I<br \/>\nhave known her for more than 20 years and worked with her through a variety of<br \/>\ncommunity projects. She has never been someone to shy away from creatively<br \/>\ntackling difficult issues, and for all these reasons, I know she is the right<br \/>\nperson to guide our school district.<\/p>\n<p>Vote yes<br \/>\non 4A, a ballot initiative that allows the Summit School District to reallocate<br \/>\nthe monies from a previous property tax mill levy that supported full-day kindergarten<br \/>\nto supporting teachers\u2019 salaries and students\u2019 mental health. When our Colorado<br \/>\nLegislature passed full-day kindergarten last session, this meant that<br \/>\ncommunities like ours, which had funding in place for full-day kindergarten,<br \/>\ncouldn\u2019t reallocate those funds to other needs without voter approval. Ballot<br \/>\nmeasure 4A means no new property taxes and keeps our Summit schools strong.<\/p>\n<p>Please<br \/>\nvote for Gini Bradley for school board and yes on 4A.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/letter-to-the-editor-vote-gini-bradley-for-school-board-yes-on-4a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m encouraging Summit County voters to open their 2019 mail-in ballot, learn about the candidates and issues, and exercise the right to vote.&nbsp; Vote for Gini Bradley for the Summit School District school board.
