Our children’s education is one of the most important things we can support. On the Nov. 8 ballot, I strongly recommend voting for longtime school supporter, Anne Baunach.

Auburn schools deserve quality leadership, and Anne will make a significant difference in our students’ education. Anne’s credentials, experience and enthusiasm will contribute greatly to the leadership of our schools. Anne’s professional career includes leadership positions in higher education and the nonprofit sector.

In her volunteer efforts, she has served our children in so many ways: Auburn Citizens for Schools; Auburn Public Schools Foundation; Community in Schools Advisory; and Auburn School District’s communication, boundary and strategic planning committees.

For the past 10 years, Anne has volunteered countless hours to public education because of her commitment to providing our local students with best possible education. As a concerned and informed parent of two children attending Auburn schools, Anne has continually been a part of creating solutions instead of pointing out public education’s problems.

I urge you to vote for Anne Baunach for Auburn School Board on Nov. 8.
