Tukes Valley Middle School student Rye Dilley offers support for Lorri Sibley for Battle Ground School Board
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and may not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
I’m writing this today to voice my support for Lorri Sibley’s campaign for the seat of Battle Ground Public Schools Director District 1.
I could not think of a more qualified candidate for the Battle Ground Public Schools Board of Directors than (Mrs.) Lorri Sibley — a veteran educator who has spent the last three-and-a-half decades caring for students, communicating with families, and standing up for teachers.
Sibley brings common sense and experience that her opponent lacks, which leaves me confident that she will make articulated and deliberate decisions for the betterment of our schools, district, and community. We have learned from the Shonny Bria disaster of 2012 that arrogant board members — even if they have good intentions — can make detrimental mistakes that harm the Battle Ground community.
Lorri Sibley is a strong, smart, and serious candidate — though I’m under 18 and cannot give her my vote, I throw my whole support behind her campaign and ask that you vote in the upcoming election.
