To The Editor:

Russ Bennett is running as a write-in candidate for the Harwood Unified Union School District Board and is an excellent choice to help lead the board out of the chaos and dysfunction that they've created.

Russ is interested in having accountability for any changes made and trying to gauge the effects of changes to the district before they are made.

Please write in Russ Bennett on Town Meeting Day and get some representation on the school board that represents the true needs of The Valley. And vote no on the budget so we will have a chance to establish policies that promote creative choices for our children. There are other ways to save money in the budget that don't involve such major disruption or have such unknown consequences.
