We have an opportunity to improve Seattle Schools. Elect Dan Dempsey to the Seattle School Board.

Dan has the ethics, independence and skills to listen to the voters. He'll do what the voters want and not be a political puppet for special interests.

Dan is the father of four children. He understands the necessity to teach and respect each student as an individual.

Dan Dempsey understands: Low graduation rates have their origin in elementary school; academic improvement depends on well devised plans, properly executed and sustained kindergarten through high school.

Dan Dempsey will work for system improvement with the new Superintendent and other board members to produce well conceived programs that positively affect our children in the classroom and improve their lives.

We encourage you to vote for and support Dan Dempsey for School Board. Let's take this opportunity to improve our schools!
