Northport School Board Candidate: Jennifer Thompson

Incumbent board member outlines her experience and outlook.

Patch has ahead of the May 17 election when voters will decide not only on the 2011-12 budget but also pick four people to serve on the school board for the next three years.

To give voters a chance to hear directly from the candidates, we will also be publishing videotaped statements.

First up today is incumbent Jennifer Thompson, who finished the term of longtime Board President Arlene Munson after she stepped down last year. It was videotaped Thursday, May 5, at a  meet the candidates night at Atria East Northport.
