As a former school board member, I greatly appreciated hearing good ideas for the future of North Kitsap School District from Beth Worthington and Doug Prichard at the Oct. 7 Poulsbo forum.

I will vote for Beth for many reasons, some of which are:

As a member of the 2013-14 NKSD Budget Committee, she examined and worked with the intricacies of school finance.

As a systems engineer, she would understand school business and relations in finding ways to establish an excellent environment for student learning and achievement.

Beth has attended 11 school board meetings, including a joint one with the City of Poulsbo. Beth’s son is a senior at KHS. I have known Beth for more than 14 years as an active community member.
