Published 12:45 am Tuesday, April 18, 2023

Redmond School District provides children with rich academic, artistic, social, and athletic experiences. Good board members play an important role, making sure the interests of the community, teachers, and students are represented.

To serve on a school board is a huge commitment, particularly in these difficult times, when sources of disinformation and social media fuel outrage more than thoughtful discussion. Throughout her term on the board, Liz Goodrich has shown up to do the work with courage and pragmatism because she believes that a quality public education is necessary for our childrens’ success, and forms the foundation of our community.

Liz understands the challenges facing our school district and will do her best to solve them. She listens to understand the complexities of a situation. She also has the strength of character to speak up and disagree respectfully if it is in the safety and learning interests of students and teachers. As a board member, her priorities for a second term are to support our schools be welcoming and safe, to create opportunities for students to grow in ways that are right for each individual, and to provide teachers with resources they need.

Liz will make good decisions for everyone based on factual information and compassion, and give consideration to the district’s financial condition. Her decisions will be guided by what is best for students, teachers, and the district, not by ego or politics. Please vote for Liz Goodrich for Redmond School Board Position 5 in the May 16 election.
