Adelaida Severson

As both a teacher and a Gilbert Town Council member I have known and worked with Adelaida Severson in community-related projects over the past two years.I find that Adelaida is someone who works well at identifying and accomplishing important goals.I am pleased that she has decided to run for Gilbert Unified School District's Governing Board, and I believe that her success as a business woman with diverse life experiences will bring a fresh perspective to the decision-making process.As a parent, I support Adelaida's belief in the importance of preparing students to compete in a global economy while ensuring, at the same time, that our district successfully attracts and maintains the types of teachers necessary to accomplish this significant goal.I ask for your support in voting for Adelaida Severson to the Gilbert governing board.

I am pleased to know Adelaida Severson is a candidate for the governing board of the Gilbert Unified School District and fully support her efforts.I have known Adelaida for about 15 years, first by working closely with her at Arizona State University, and more recently when she co-chaired a fund raising event for New Directions Institute, a group that promotes early childhood development.I share her belief students need to be thinking about post-graduation options in their early years and with her ideals to provide a more progressive curriculum to include more international and critical thinking to equip children to compete in today's global economy.

The fact that she is close to her goal of visiting each school in the district speaks to her commitment and passion to ensuring each child gets the best public education possible.We need more people like her on our governing boards.
