Tillamook County Retired Educators and Teachers: Neah-Kah-Nie School Board Candidates Bayouth-Real, Aeder, and Carr Earn Endorsement from Retired Educators

Marisa will bring her passion and knowledge of the classroom and education processes to the school board. Marisa has a Masters Degree in Teaching from Lewis and Clark College. She taught 6th-12th grade Language Arts classes at Neah-Kah-Nie High School and Middle School from 2003-2020. She worked as the advisor to many school clubs and organizations. Through these school programs she collaborated closely with parents and families. She formed community-classroom partnerships and involved local residents and businesses in the school. Marisa has experience aligning curriculum K-12, developing an evaluation process for licensed staff, and mentoring teachers in areas pertaining to inclusion, disabilities, and instruction for English Language Learners. For these reasons we heartily endorse Marisa Bayouth-Real for Neah-Kah-Nie, Zone # 2.

Michele’s passion for supporting the Neah-Kah-Nie (NKN) staff and students is made evident by her long-standing service to NKN schools and the community. Michele brings seven years experience on the board and membership on the Inclusion Alliance (the NKN School District equity committee). Her civic engagement includes 15 years of service on the City of Garibaldi budget committee, and 35 years of volunteer work with Tides of Change. For 30 years, she worked closely with the school district administration as the director of the private NKN school bus transportation service. During her time on the board, Michele has worked to develop a cohesive and cooperative school board that can bring varying perspectives to make difficult decisions. We endorse Michele because she has the experience and the skills to oversee the transition for NKN’s new superintendent to ensure the success of all students.
