Vaules: Voting for inclusive, compassionate public schools

I wholeheartedly endorse Mike Sharkey, Donna Lewis and Matt Pittinsky for the Scottsdale Unified School District Board.

These candidates stand out for their unwavering commitment to public education and dedication to supporting all students, including those with special needs. Their pro-public education stance ensures that our district will continue prioritizing quality education for every child. Importantly, their commitment to protecting and supporting students in Special Education aligns with the critical need for inclusive and equitable learning environments.

Sharkey, Lewis and Pittinsky understand the diverse needs of our student population and are prepared to advocate for policies that benefit all learners. Their election to the board would be a significant step towards strengthening our public education system and ensuring that every student, regardless of their learning needs, receives the support and resources they deserve.

I wholeheartedly encourage all voters who value strong public schools and an inclusive, compassionate education to join me in supporting Mike Sharkey, Donna Lewis and Matt Pittinsky for the Scottsdale Unified School District Board.
