Ollie letter: Tina Dean

Tina Dean was elected by the voters of Zone 1 of the West Ada School District to represent their interests. She has done exactly that. Chairman Dean has made students a priority, she supports parent rights in education, and she keeps a close watch on district expenditures.

Tina Dean has done nothing to merit a recall. The allegations on the recall petition are false. . The recall is about politics and an attempt by the political elite to take over the elected board and to do away with local control.

Vote against the recall of Tina Dean.

Mary Ollie, Meridian
