Ellen interviews for Washtucna School Board seat, cites student-centered priorities
Summary
Ellen, a parent and social worker, interviewed for Board Position No. 1 and told directors she wants to support teachers, center student success, and improve school–community connections; the board moved into executive session to deliberate the applicant.
Ellen, a parent of two boys who attend the district, spoke to the board about her reasons for applying to fill Board Position No. 1. "I am a mother of 2 boys who attend here at Marsh Tech Mah, and I am somebody who does value education as a foundation for both individual success and a strong community," she said, adding that she works as a social worker and intends to "serve with integrity, listen to others, and always keep the best interests of students at the center of every decision."
Board members read written answers submitted by the applicant and asked questions during a public portion of the meeting. Staff member noted that state law (RCW) requires interview and then executive consideration; the board later recessed into executive session to consider the application and possible action on the candidate. No final appointment was announced in open session.
