| 20 year education and disability advocate Joe Cunningham is running for school board |
Joe has filed for the open seat (Position 5) created by Dick Potter leaving the Board after his term ends this November.
“I’m a 20-year resident of the Briarcrest neighborhood in Shoreline, and my involvement in education and the community runs deep. My father was a School Superintendent, Coach, Special Education teacher, and Federal Teachers Union President and my Mom taught music in schools as I spent a fourth of my childhood being raised on Native American reservations and Central America. I am raising my two children in Shoreline, and they are and have all attended Shoreline Public Schools,” Joe said.
“As a parent of a child who experiences a developmental disability, I have professional and personal expertise in special education, which is especially important now as the Legislature has just passed a history-making $25.2 million to address our special education needs which have frustrated parents for such a long time,” Joe said.
As a Shoreline School Director, Joe said he will work with school staff to make sure all students achieve at the highest levels.
