Candidate Heather Lindberg demonstrated solid knowledge and effectively challenged incumbent Dale Rice during their video interview with The Columbian. She corrected his deviation from the facts when he attempted to explain his opposition to additional school counselors. Lindberg supported increased counseling support for students.
Lindberg’s platform of increased transparency and accountability for student learning outcomes and open minds is refreshing compared to Rice’s repeated insistence that the issues are complicated and existing solutions are adequate.
Her strong advocacy, fresh thinking, leadership and demonstrated service to students and teachers make Heather Lindberg a great choice for Position 1 director on the Vancouver Public Schools board.
