Editor, Ceres Courier,

I am writing to encourage your readers to vote for Shannon Sanford for Stanislaus County Superintendent.

Shannon successfully led Gratton School District for the past 12 years. Under her leadership, Gratton has ranked consistently among the highest for math and English test scores in the county. Gratton also has no debt, no bonds and a healthy reserve.  Shannon is the only candidate that has actually ran a school district and is simply the most qualified. Shannon understands her job and commitment is to children, parents and taxpayers.

Rebekah Martin,

Turlock
