Having known Pam Teal’s years and years of volunteer work helping with all aspects of Renton schools and programs, it’s a pleasure to see her running for a permanent seat on the Renton School Board.

She has shown her commitment and concern for all levels of students, from those needing special help, to those in Honors and AP courses, staying connected to meeting the needs of all of our students.

Mrs. Teal’s involvement heading up the Renton PTSA Council means she sees the importance of staying connected to what parents and teachers have to say. She’s already served on the RSD Board, taking over for Marcie Maxwell and proving that she can help make tough decisions where needed during a year of cuts required due to the economy.

We need to retain an active, committed, connected, and informed School Board member, and that is Pam Teal.
