Vote for April Sither for Scarborough Board of Education. She speaks with conviction, diplomacy, intelligence, and kindness. She demonstrates her belief that our School Board can become a body that oversees our superintendent and school system in ways that best serve both our students and our community. Every time she speaks, her caring is evident.

For several years, I’ve watched the board and Town Council meetings. April’s behavior and speeches at these meetings reveals her sincerity and honesty. She establishes her points with calm professionalism, in sharp contrast to the attitudes of arrogance, derision, condescension, and dismissiveness routinely conveyed by members of both bodies.

Our board needs what April will bring to the decision-making processes with which it is charged. It’s time for a change. It’s time for a renewal: of purpose, of caring, of collaboration, of transparency, and, most importantly, of accountability.

Vote for April. She won’t disappoint.
