“As I think about the educators that most influenced my children, I would put Amanda Black Bollinger on top!!! When Whitney was in Elementary School at Butterfield Canyon Elementary School Amanda was her principal.  I worked with Amanda on several initiatives including getting assistant Principals in our elementary schools. She was influential in launching one on one technology and assisting in expanding our Mental Wellness services.  Most importantly it was the educational outcomes increase that impressed me the most. During the time Amanda was Whitney’s principal, Whitney learned how to love learning.  Amanda is currently running for the state school board. I will be endorsing her and giving her campaign my total support because we need a VOICE that actually knows education on the State School Board.  Her skills in Teaching and Learning and Special Education are so needed at the state level.
Please join me in supporting the campaign of Amanda Bollinger for State School Board.”
