Nurse and local booster highlights community ties, urges focus on graduation and staff recruitment
Summary
One candidate said she was born and raised locally, has worked as a nurse for 20 years, is active on the boosters committee and wants the board to prioritize recruiting qualified staff and increasing graduation rates; she supports clearer communication to families.
A candidate for the open Seaside School District 10 board seat described long-standing community ties and two decades as a local nurse, saying those experiences shaped her priorities for the district.
"I've been a nurse in our community for 20 years," the candidate said, adding she has two children in the district and has served on the boosters committee, fundraising for student activities. She told board members she would focus on lifting graduation rates and attracting qualified staff to the coast, where cost-of-living pressure makes recruitment difficult.
Board members asked follow-up questions about transparency and community outreach; the candidate suggested improving how board topics are communicated so families understand budget needs and district challenges. The board noted the idea and agreed to seek feedback from administrators and union representatives before deciding whether to change routine report formats or public outreach practices.
