School Board Candidates

I am attempting to find information on the school board candidates.  It has been much easier in the past.  This year it has been more difficult. 

 Susan D. Coffman

 Susan Coffman has served as the Outreach Program Coordinator and Finance Officer for Lee’s Summit CARES since 2008. She has been a mayor-appointed representative to the Human Services Advisory Board, facilitated alcohol retailer trainings, organized the annual Holly Festival with the DARE program, managed bookkeeping and accounting, and served as the community liaison between LS CARES and local business, universities and the cities. 

Coffman’s financial background includes work as a customer support specialist at Jack Henry & Associates Inc. for 11 years and assistant vice president and customer support specialist at Merchants Bank for 17 years. 

Her community activities include serving on the Human Services Advisory Board, Paradise Park Advisory Board, Lee’s Summit Social Services Board, former treasurer of Rotary Club of Lee’s Summit, numerous positions within the Lee’s Summit Chamber, Citizen Advisory Committee of the School District, Civic Round Table, THCF Community for All Ages Civic Engagement and Transportation committees, and Career Pathways Advisory Team of the School District. 

Coffman was named the Lee’s Summit CARES Volunteer of the Year in 2005, 2006, and 2007. She received the Elks Distinguished Citizenship Award in 2007, the Community Oriented Policing Award in 2008, the Certificate of Appreciation from the Missouri Municipal League in 2012, and she was the 2012 City of Lee’s Summit Citizen of the Year.

She is a retired school administrator who served the Lee’s Summit School District for 30 years.
As a member of the Lee’s Summit community since 1976, she is deeply committed to the Lee’s Summit community and programs that will help maintain a positive and healthy quality of life for its citizens.

To that end, Diego Gutierrez, a retired Major League Soccer player for the original Kansas City Wiz (later the Wizards, now Sporting KC), was named the 2007 U.S. Soccer Federation/MLS Humanitarian of the Year.

Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses.
