Of the articles I've read by Charlie Hoff in your newspaper, I'd have to say that he is absolutely right on the mark.

As a School Board Director in Shoreline I appreciate his insights, even if they make some people uncomfortable. I have met Charlie in person twice and I am amazed at his depth of knowledge, his well reasoned ideas, and his obvious strong personal drive to improve the education of our children.

I only wish he was a fellow Board member in Shoreline. The Federal Way School District would be wise to heed Charlie's advice.
