Committee Endorses Board Candidates
Local Solutions Political Action Committee has endorsed candidates for
the three open seats on the Northern Humboldt Union High School District
School Board.
The endorsed candidates are Don Avant, Rebecca Bair Kurwitz and Stephen
J. Cole.
“These three people are highly qualified candidates from diverse
backgrounds who will bring a thoughtful, open- minded perspective to
board deliberations,” said Local Solutions spokesman Michael
Twombly.
“The Northern Humboldt District, which governs the Arcata and
McKinleyville high schools, has been plagued by controversy in recent
years,” according to a Local Solutions news release. “Community
members and parents have complained about restrictive policies on comprehensive
sex education, restrictions on students’ constitutional rights
and an excessive military presence on campuses.
“Don, Rebecca, and Steve will consider such matters with the needs
of the whole community in mind, and will deal with such issues in a fair
and even-handed manner,” Twombly said.
Residents may meet these candidates on Sept. 24 at a Local Solutions-sponsored
community meeting at the Bayside Grange beginning with dinner at 6 p.m.
