Soberg, Madery will compliment Richards, Torkelson

To the Editor:
In addition to my support for two school board incumbents, Angie Richards and Mark Torkelson, I want to also acknowledge candidates Dylan Soberg and Patrick Madery. The K-M school board would benefit from Soberg and Madery as parents of school age children that are fiscally responsible while also understanding we need a strong school system.  
All four of these candidates desire to place a strong emphasis on academics, which seems to be getting lost in many of the schools in America today. It is imperative to focus on the academic needs of the kids so they are prepared for the “real world.” 
It is somewhat concerning to hear rumblings that some candidates in this race  may be more focused on representing the agenda of teachers than the educational needs of our children. Richards, Torkelson, Soberg and Madery will provide the common sense balance our school system needs to thrive.
