After four nights of interviews, Simi Educators Association selected to endorse Thurlow Partridge and Eric Lundstrom for Simi Valley School Board, Donna Prenta for Ventura County School Board and Jim Dantona for Ventura County Supervisor.

All of these candidates are dedicated to supporting our students in public schools.

They believe in strong partnerships between parents, teachers and students to achieve student success. They stand behind acquiring the latest technology and software to support students' academics in the classroom.

They all believe in developing the whole child by promoting selfdiscipline, personal responsibility and respect for others. They want to ensure that students graduate ready for college or career.

Please join the teachers of Simi Valley by voting for Partridge, Lundstrom, Prenta and Dantona on Nov. 7. Dayle Gillick Teacher and President of Simi Educators Association

We at Royal High School believe that when the school board, district, administration and teachers work together in a professional learning community, students benefit.

Therefore, we support the candidates who have been forthright in declaring their intentions and who most appreciate the role of the teacher in developing character and academic excellence.

For these reasons, we support the candidacy of Eric Lundstrom and Thurlow Partridge who have publicly stated the objectives we feel are vital to the education of Simi Valley students.
