Cindy Sackett

My name is Cindy Sackett and I am running for Edmonds School District Director #4. As a parent of two teenagers, I’ve been deeply involved in our schools for over 12 years. I have lived in Edmonds for 14 years and cannot imagine calling anywhere else home. I am a former PTA president and treasurer, after school math coach, as well as district para-educator and I’ve supported our students and teachers in classrooms, at school functions and field trips. I served on the board of the Edmonds Schools Foundation and proudly served as their first Executive Director.

I am currently the Director of Operations and Expanded Learning for Washington Alliance for Better Schools (WABS). I joined WABS in 2012 after 20 years of accounting experience in the for-profit sector. I transitioned to nonprofit work in 2010 as well as spending time working as a para-educator in the Edmonds School District.

I am also a former Council Member of United Way Snohomish County’s Kids Matter Vision Council, PTA President and Treasurer at Chase Lake Community School (for multiple years), Auction Coordinator, Math Olympiad Coach, and Volunteer for Make-a-Wish Foundation.

I’ve seen tremendous progress made towards increasing equity for all students in our community. I’ll work to continue this progress with an increased focus on excellence and accountability. I am familiar with how our School District operates and strongly support the great work of our quality teachers.

My work history and experiences give me a unique understanding of the budgets and fiscal responsibility of a school board member. My volunteer experience and passion for quality education will guide my decision-making and will always put the best interests of all our children first.

I am committed to serve and ask for your vote.
