Thank you to everyone that supported me in the Sedalia Board of Education campaign. I am elated to say the least. I am now challenged with these goals: 1. Do what is best for our students, 2. Do what is best for our staff, 3. Do what is best for our community.
So I challenge each of you to follow me in these goals. Support the students and staff and come together as a community to show that support. If you do not have a student in the district, come to an event anyway. Cheer on those kids, show them some love. There is nothing better than having a cheerleader in your arena. Let us all be that cheerleader and show how much we care for our future.

And Prop KIDS passed by 60%, or 1988 yes to 1280 no votes.
