In these very unusual times, many thoughts go through my mind. A central one is regarding the education of our young people. We need to step up and make sure our kids are not missing essential learning.

We have very dedicated teachers/educators working day and night to make sure their students receive the best education possible in these challenging times.

It is often difficult for these teachers to adapt to the new methods of teaching, but they do it because they recognize the importance of their jobs.

As a 21-year former member of the Lake County Board of Education, I commend our many teachers/educators for their dedication.

It is very important to have county supervisors who demonstrate a commitment to our schools and children and are innovative with solutions to help Lake County move forward.

I have cast my vote for Jessica Pyska for District 5 supervisor.
