Peters needed for checks, balances

Gary Suppiger is the incumbent for Zone 2 for the Lake Pend Oreille School Board. He works with kids, tutoring math. Commendable.

Gary also voted twice to mandate masks on your kids in the schools. He has accused his opponent of wanting to put cameras in the classroom; last year Gary put cameras in your home for class via zoom.  He said the school has great internet security and that any unwanted material (social media, games, pornography) your children get on the school chrome books is from your child’s cell phone, blaming the parents. I bet any parent could ask their child to show them how to access these sites using the schools internet and chrome book.

Gary is a pretty nice guy. I think the school district should hire him. He doesn’t say no to them that often. Any suggestion by the superintendent, the board of trustees always votes unanimously in favor of. He’s a pretty nice guy.

But I would vote for Jalon Peters. The school board trustees are elected by the people to be a check and balance to the school district. Gary always tells them yes.
