Lee & Bales: PVUSD Superintendents share message with PV voters

As former superintendents, we appreciate that Paradise Valley Unified School District voters not only support PVUSD by approving bonds and overrides but also through their choices for Governing Board members. By and large, the community has elected individuals who have spent years volunteering in our district, learning about the opportunities and issues PVUSD faces, helping create solutions focused on students in a collaborative, nonpartisan manner. This year, you have a clear choice to do so again, and we encourage you to elect Anne Greenberg, Jessica Wani and Amanda Lim.
