Currently, the Corvallis School District Board is set to make facility decisions that will impact the community for decades—which means 509j will need leadership with a track record of building constructive relationships with parents during public process. Call this another quite clear choice as Adams is the only elected member of the board running for re-election. Junkins is a pediatrician, and the dean of academic affairs at Western University of Health Sciences’ Lebanon, and has held a school board position at another area in the past. With five of the seven seats open, it will be important to consider someone that has experience in the public sector as well as previous school board experience. Kosanovic boasts 14 years of uninterrupted administrative experience with Corvallis Schools, which provides context and an understanding on an institutional level that can be beneficial to making board decisions.
