As a parent and a professional, I strongly believe in Carolyn’s leadership in the SVSD. Jaime Cole, Vice President, Sno Valley Chamber of Commerce

I first met Carolyn in 2013 when I reached out to her regarding some concerns I had about the direction of the SVSD. She was responsive, empathetic, and informed.  From communications and attending Board meetings, I could see that Carolyn had a vision for our District and that she aimed for excellence and accountability. She pushed for a much needed strategic plan with community input.  

Carolyn has provided excellent leadership for students, staff, and parents of the SVSD, as well as been responsible with the budget. Carolyn’s track record of accomplishments, leadership skills, and experience is critical for the continued success of the SVSD. “Barbara Scott – Parent, North Bend
