As a business owner, parent and former Renton school board director, I am concerned about the business decisions and directions our school district is heading. One immediate change we as parents and voters can make is to elect Dr. Jim Grossnickle as the fresh new perspective to the Renton school board Position 5.

If you have seen Renton School District’s 2008-2009 fifth grade WASL scores, you know that in math and science, our scores are lower than a majority of our neighboring school districts. Let’s all start making some necessary changes by electing Dr. Jim Grossnickle as our next Renton school board director for Position 5.
