Hi. My name is Molly Mitchell,
and I'm running for
Seattle School Board Director
to ensure that every student
has a pathway to success.
I want to ensure all voices
in our school district are heard,
that you have a seat at the table,
and that your concerns
and needs are addressed.
Our schools can do more to serve
the needs of diverse students
and families in our city.
In my 20-year career in education,
the core of my work
has been centering equity
and social justice.
This year, I was honored
to be recognized
for my commitment to equity
when I received the Equity Award
from the Washington State
Association of College Trustees.
As the Director
of Student Support Programs
at Seattle Central College,
I am focused on serving students
with the highest barriers
to completion
and students furthest from justice
throughout their entire education,
including their lived experiences
outside the classroom.
I am passionate about
expanding educational opportunities
inside Washington state prisons.
Additionally, I oversee support
for student parents,
student veterans,
and those facing food insecurity.
For all students to succeed,
we must create learning environments
that are safe, welcoming,
and inclusive for all.
When every student
is included and engaged
in their learning environment,
all students benefit.
As a mom and a community organizer,
I believe solutions
are most effective
when they engage all stakeholders
and are accountable to the community,
which is why current school board director
Jill Geary has endorsed my campaign.
The school board can do better
to collaborate with families,
educators,
community organizations,
and local agencies
to generate policies that support
every student's
educational success.
I pledge to represent your voice
and to work for high-quality
education for all students.
My name is Molly Mitchell,
and I would be honored
to earn your vote
for Seattle School Board.
