Having served with Stephanie McGinnis and Val Mignogna on the Altoona Area school board, I support their candidacy for re-election.

School board members serve as volunteers and oversee one of the most important services offered in our community.

Stephanie is a parent, former teacher, small business owner, an active member in her church and in our community.

Val is a parent, administrator in the health care industry, and is very active in youth sports programs in our community.

While serving on the board, both supported hiring a security officer to be placed in all of our school buildings, supported upgrading and maintaining our buildings to keep all healthy, worked to find ways to reduce expenditures to be good stewards of financial resources, helped to hire highly qualified staff to maintain excellency and supported updating and providing resources to on offer students a high quality curriculum and educational excellence.
