ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Havercroft, Durbin, Knudtsen

| October 4, 2024 1:00 AM

Hoping to end the dysfunction of the NIC Board, I am not voting for Brent Regan’s “partisan” picks. Instead I am voting for whom I feel are the most suited candidates. Mary Havercroft seems by far the most suited having lived 44 years in Kootenai County with a sustained career in education at the Lakeland School District. She began in the classroom and ended in administration, serving as both a school Principal and Special Education Director. Now retired, she is highly familiar with school budgets, Board governance, and has served on both sides of many school accreditation reviews.

Not far behind is Rick Durbin, a lifelong Kootenai County resident and NIC graduate. Rick’s eldest son is also an NIC graduate while his middle son is a current NIC student. NIC is in his DNA! As a financial planner he understands fiscal responsibility and will be a strong asset for returning fiscal responsibility to NIC.
