I am writing in support of T.J. Heller for San Juan Island School District 149 School Board position 2. I have worked with T.J. and have been impressed with his clear communication good listening and systematic thinking. He is not a person who lets his ego get in the way of solving problems.

We need fresh leadership on the School Board for a new direction to correct the poor financial management and low morale that now exists. Two years ago the school district had over $1,100,000 in cash reserves that has dwindled to approximately $400,000 or less. Vote for T.J. Heller and return to responsible leadership and management in our District.
