I’m writing this letter in support of Brian Pickard for South Kitsap school board. I believe Brian will provide the leadership necessary to bring the SK school board back to focusing on students, setting policy and supporting our schools.

Brian is an extremely positive person and is genuinely concerned for the well-being of the students and employees of SKSD. He has spent his career creating a positive, family friendly atmosphere to develop the trust needed by strong leadership.

Brian has the experience and vision of the direction that SKSD should be moving. He has been an administrator, coach, active community member and supportive parent. Brian is well respected throughout the district and the SK community.

I encourage you to vote for Brian Pickard for South Kitsap school board … I will.
