About JAiME
JAiME writes about all SCHOOL options available to the residents of ISD833 SoWashCo.
PUBLIC and NON-PUBLIC
After running for school board in 2021, she recognized the need for a balanced perspective, both politically and spiritually.
JAiME’s two children attended ISD#833 schools for ten years. They are now completing their secondary education at local Christian private schools.

By highlighting the many school models available, JAiME hopes to find the BEST solutions for our KIDS. The only way to do this is without the UNIONs, without the STATE, without the GOVERNMENT, and without the MONEY.
THE ONLY WAY IS WITH LOVE
