Look at candidates' views of education when voting

| April 30, 2024 1:00 AM

I graduated from Sandpoint High School in 2014 and earned my master’s degree in 2021. I am confident that my public school education in North Idaho helped prepare me in both my undergraduate and graduate endeavors. I was the first person in my immediate family to obtain a college degree.

I am deeply concerned with the push to limit funds for public schools. Public schools in Idaho are already lacking funds, one only needs to look at the Middle School’s history to identify how little money is invested in facilities. Kathryn Larson has expressed adamant support and funding for public schools. Public education allows everyone to get an education regardless of income, family life or other factors. I will support the candidate who wants to bolster public education and support all the kids in North Idaho, and Kathryn Larson is that candidate.
