Owada provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Thurston County:[4]
|
"It has been an honor for me to serve as a school board member for the past 16 years. Through the hard work of dedicated teachers, staff and administrators at North Thurston Public Schools, we have aligned our curriculum and focused our attention on academic rigor. As a result, our test results, especially for math and science at the middle school level, have improved significantly, and our students and teachers have received state and national awards. SAT participation has increased and scores have increased by 67 points. Public education is the cornerstone of our democracy, and the foundation to allow each of our student's dreams become reality. It is a wise investment for our community." |
