tom Letter to the editor... Support Campbell Editor, The Herald: It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of endorsement in support of a much-needed change in the public school environment in North Mason County. Providing and assuring quality education for our children is the essence of what a school system must be. Guidance of the educa- tional system is supposed to be provided by the school board. Ef- fective guidance requires open communication with the commu- nity and transparency in decision making. Anyone who has attended a school board meeting in the past two years knows we currently have neither. In the election this November, we have the oppor- tunity to make a positive change by placing John Campbell on the school board. John Campbell is a career-long educator. We are fortunate, in- deed, that he has decided to seek a seat on the school board. His election will bring much needed competency, vision and experience to this crucial position in the com- munity. Moreover, John brings a different quality of social inter- change to this election. He speaks of his opponent as the "honorable gentleman opposite" and, in so do- ing, raises the standard of politi- cal dialogue to a respectable and dignified level. We need to care more about our kids and the qual- ity education they receive. John Campbell is for kids and we can trust his judgment.
