After having questioning the candidates for Northshore School Board and determining their position on the issue of later start times, the endorsement committee representing Parent Advocates for a Late Start (PALS) is endorsing Ken Smith, candidate for Northshore School Board position 2.

Ken Smith was instrumental in helping PALS push for a later start times for our high school students. Ken offered his assistance to PALS through his Northshore Citizens for Transparent School Finances group and continues working with PALS in an effort to make the later start times beginning in 2017 a smooth and successful transition.

Ken was also actively involved in the shuttle implementation plan for getting 1-6 and 2-7 period options for some students in the upcoming 2015-16 school year. Ken is passionate about giving all students the opportunity to learn at the optimal time.

Ken will make later start a priority as a board member.

We believe Ken Smith is the best choice for Northshore School Board.
