Beatty will run for another PUSD term

Poway Unified School District board member Kimberley Beatty said this week she will seek a second term in November.

“Yes, I intend to run for re-election,” Beatty said. “My campaign will officially kick off after the June primary, likely in early July.”

Beatty, first elected to the five-member board in 2012, said she will disclose her platform and reasons for running after the primary election.

“My mandate for increased accountability, greater transparency, fiscal responsibility, improved business practices, lower class sizes and increased resources going to student programs and services is unfinished,” she said.

The Sabre Springs resident is one of two board members whose terms expire at the end of the year. Board member Andy Patapow, a Poway resident, has said he plans to retire after 20 years on the board.

No challengers have thus far declared their interest.
