"Amanda is a kind, thoughtful, and deeply committed member of our community who truly understands the needs of our schools—because she’s been there, every step of the way.
Although she is not a teacher by profession, Amanda has spent countless hours volunteering in our schools. She was recognized at our school this year as volunteer of the year! She has seen firsthand what our students, teachers, and support staff experience day to day, and she brings that understanding with her in everything she does. Her experiences have given her a unique and valuable perspective—she truly gets it!
One of her greatest strengths is her ability to listen. Amanda takes the time to hear different viewpoints, and she communicates with clarity, respect, and purpose. She’s not interested in pushing an agenda—she’s interested in what’s best for the students and teachers.
As a parent of children who use IEPs and other supports, she also brings a deep personal understanding of the special education system. She knows how critical it is that all children—regardless of their needs—feel supported and included in their learning environment.
Amanda is exactly the kind of person we want helping to guide our schools: compassionate, clear-headed, and committed to making a positive difference. I wholeheartedly support her candidacy and know she will serve with integrity and heart."
