In her candidate profile, she said academic test scores have plummeted between 2012 and 2019.

"While school board continues to allow sexual exploitation risks in the school proper as evidenced by the district's lack of screening protocol for age-appropriate books, internet security breaches, inappropriate teacher's use of gender pronouns in school email signature that links to LGBT education and sex toy websites just to name a few."

Daniel Medeiros

Daniel Medeiros is a first-time candidate. His expertise is in electrical engineering. He told Patch the biggest issue in the schools is the pandemic response.

Medeiros added the district failed to adopt several measures that could have "curbed the spread of the COVID virus through our community."

Glen Allgaier (Incumbent)

Glen Allgaier has served on the school board for 15 years. He told Patch the most important issue in the district is recovering from the learning loss due to the pandemic.

"We need to get back to normal, minimizing mitigation practices, as early as possible," Allgaier said.

He describes himself as a long-term, strategic thinker who uses the abilities to solve problems and make things better.
