Six candidates are seeking election to four seats on the West Des Moines school board. The candidates are incumbents:Liz Coxand Jill Caton Johnson, and newcomers Jonas Cutler, Lonnette Dafney, Jeff Hicks and Jessica Worley.

Q: List your top three priorities for the school district and how you would address them.

Liz Cox:

  1. Ensuring WDMCS provides positive and supportive programs for students who may not choose to go on to college or would otherwise feel disenfranchised.

  2. Advance policies that support a thriving school culture where students are connected, and access to academic and mental health supports are readily available.

  3. Develop facilities and programs that not only meet the needs of students, but also are accessible to the community.

 

I am honored to have again received the endorsement of the West Des Moines Education Association in 2019.

"So pleased to let you know that WDMEA enthusiastically endorses you for school board. We feel as though you strongly support teachers and understand the importance of union matters!"
