Interim superintendent Rich Carlson filled in last year. Former superintendent Ginger Jewell unexpectedly resigned in 2015. “But there’s a lot of things that go on there and I don’t think the community’s really informed about everything that happens, they just want to be present when there’s a big hiccup in the system.”Įxpanded technology isn’t the only big change the school board has dealt with in the past few years.

On the other hand, both candidates agree that people don’t seem to get involved until something controversial comes up. “As it proceeded, to involve the community more, so that they understood what we were trying to accomplish, right on through to our first community meeting,” Schwartz said.

She’s been on the school board for 14 years. Swinton has helped steer the district in its current direction.
