📢 RUNOFF ELECTION 📢

Last week we were invited to vote in the 2023 CPEA Officer Elections. In Clover Park SD there are 16 elementary schools. Out of the 147 certificated educators that voted, I won with 48% of the votes. This was a win, BUT…the rule is that I must have 50% of the votes to win the election. Due to this, there will be a runoff election between myself and another candidate. The election will take place within the next two weeks and I encourage everyone to vote again or please vote for the first time if you missed last week’s deadline.

I was encouraged to run for this election because there is a need for elementary teachers voices to be heard. I was born and raised in Lakewood and attended schools in this district. I chose to work in Clover Park so that I could give back to the community that helped shaped the person I am today. As elementary teachers, we have the opportunity to lay out positive foundations that can shape students future learning trajectory. For this to be done, we need the resources and tools so that we can adequately fulfill our essential job. I’m running for Vice President of Elementary so that I can continue to advocate for our voices be heard.

I am Kianté Parker, and I am running for Vice President of Elementary. I have been an educator for eight years, teaching in the Clover Park School District for four years, and a proud member of the CPEA union since 2019. As a First Grade Teacher, I have seen first-hand the barriers that our students and educators have endured, and will continue to face, as the look of education evolves. I have been championing for change to overcome barriers through my roles on the district DISC and Equity Committees. The challenges we have faced over the last few years have shown that we need to build together to strengthen our voices in this community. My goal is to ensure that educators, students, and families get the voice that they deserve, and I will continue to fight for this change as the future Vice President of Elementary.—————————————————————————
