Having faced her own disabilities throughout life, Jess brings an additional set of skills to the school director role that most people do not have. . . her life accomplishments have succeeded based on her own grit to never give up. Our children who are dealing with their own disabilities would be enchanted by Jess' leadership in the Olympia Public Schools.
