Mrs. Sykora was my 6th grade teacher in math, and I must say, my experience with her proved to me to this day that a solid middle and elementary school education is the most important thing to students' success in all of their future endeavors.   more ›

Valley View School Board Election: Will Falese or Olson Nab Fourth Seat?

Only 109 votes separated Daniel Falese and Jaime Olson in Tuesday's Valley View School District 365U school board election.

With absentee votes still uncounted and official election results not to be released until the end of the month, some uncertainty remains over who nabbed the fourth seat on the Valley View School District 365U school board.  Only 109 votes separated newcomers Daniel Falese and Jaime Olson in the election. With four school board seats available, Falese received the fourth-most votes with 2,485.

Hansen and Sykora both secured school board seats.  …

Jamie, I supported you in this election by displaying your sign and voting for you. I agree that you need more name recognition as I only found out about your campaign following the last School Board Meeting. I know it's unlikely but I would be thrilled if you were to come out the winner in this election. I believe through God all things are possible, while at the same time, let His will be done…   more ›

…Quality vs quantity are the words from the superintendent indicating the reason for dismissing 142 staff members of the Valley View School District. What an insulting way to refer to a staff that has given six years of service to the children of this district. To dismiss our value and contributions based on nothing more than lacking a piece of paper that indicates we are “certified” regardless …   more ›

You could have the best Board Members in the State, it is still not going to bring up test scores. The fault is with the parents and students that just don't care. We have parents that are not actively involved in their child's education and you have students that are always truant and acting as if they would rather be someplace other then school.
