Hot Topic!
Rule CKA was passed unanimously on August 18, 2020. A fellow candidate asks questions about changes made.
My response is found here.
Candidate Norm Sedig asked me an important question today.
He accuses me of misquoting him. I thank him for his question.
Answer - I did not. I quoted his statement in full context -
“I do have some selfish reasons to continue one more year. But first realize that I still coach tennis because of my passion to coach kids in tennis and be around them." [Norm Sedig]
Please see my full statement here.
Proven Leadership!
I have shown dedication and an unwavering commitment during 20 years on the board.
I have done the work, and walked the walk.
The education of our children deserves our best effort.
Nothing has changed.
Our district has implemented our Safe Start plan and we have been successful due to the cooperation of staff, students, and community. We will continue to face obstacles related to the COVID pandemic. We will adjust as needed to keep kids safe.
We must place our children's needs first and work together to ensure a safe healthy educational environment.
Many Opportunities to Serve
It has been my honor to serve Park County as a Trustee for 20 years. As an advocate for public education, my focus and interest in the legislative process has grown. My interest in the legislative process is not new. Serving as a Wyoming School Board Legislative Liaison for many years has given me an opportunity to work closely with legislators and state officials. I have attended interim committee meetings, participated in the educational re-calibration process, and testified on many occasions.
While I was not successful in my campaign for State Senate, I am committed to serve. I am seeking re-election to the Park County School District Number 6 Board of Trustees.
I am asking for your support.
I am asking for your vote.
Thank you,
Stefanie Bell
