As a former member of the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Board, I had the privilege of seeing firsthand the kind of leadership, integrity, and commitment it takes to serve our students, teachers, families, and community well. It is from that experience that I am proud to endorse Jackie Burhans for our School Board.
Jackie brings exactly what our schools need right now: a clear vision for student success, a steady hand for decision-making, and a genuine dedication to listening to parents, teachers, and students. She understands that strong schools are the foundation of a strong community.
I’ve watched Jackie engage with complex issues thoughtfully, ask the right questions, and keep the focus on what matters most: helping every student thrive. She also brings the kind of collaborative spirit that makes a school board effective: willing to lead when needed, but also eager to listen and build consensus.
Serving on a school board is not easy work. It requires long hours, tough decisions, and a commitment to doing the right thing even when it isn’t the easy thing. I am confident Jackie will serve with integrity and courage.
For these reasons, I wholeheartedly support Jackie Burhans for the Lewis-Palmer School Board and encourage you to join me in casting your vote for her.
