It is with great confidence and enthusiasm that I endorse Jackie Burhans for a seat on the Board of Education in Lewis-Palmer School District 38.
Through community engagements and as a former member of the Lewis-Palmer School District staff, I have had the pleasure of serving alongside Jackie as she engaged as a volunteer in multiple capacities. Whether it be in focus groups, committees, or targeted community projects aimed at enhancing both our schools and the broader community, Jackie has consistently shown up with energy, insight, and a deep commitment to positive change.
Jackie approaches every engagement with active participation, thoughtfulness, and a genuine curiosity that invites dialogue and fosters progress. She brings a solution-focused mindset to every conversation, asking thoughtful and often challenging questions that reflect her desire to truly understand and serve all members of our school community.
One of Jackie’s greatest strengths is her ability to balance innovation with tradition, displaying a deep respect for the values of our community while also advocating for forward-thinking approaches that benefit students and educators alike. Her relational demeanor makes her a unifying and trusted presence in any group.
I have no doubt that Jackie will bring the same dedication, thoughtfulness, and integrity to her role as a Board of Education member. I wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy and believe she will be a tremendous advocate for students, families, educators, and the entire Lewis-Palmer School District community to carry forward the mission of “Every Student. Every Day.”
