Nikki Otero Lockwood is a public schools advocate and community activist running for Spokane School Board, Director, Position 1. She has served as chair of a Montessori parent group, as well as a member of the Human Growth and Development Committee and the Superintendent’s Work Group on Restorative Practices. She currently works as an organizer for the ACLU trying to reform the school to prison pipeline. As a mother of two, including a child with autism, she has advocated for special needs children as a member of the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee. As part of her commitment to equitable policies and fully-funded education, she would push to reform school discipline, address systemic racism and inequality in schools, and ensure the accessibility of mental health workers for students.
Lockwood's opponent in this race is former elementary school teacher Katey Randall Treloar. Treloar is running to address budget shortfalls, hold principals and administrators accountable for their conduct, and support community nonprofits that support students. However, Treloar has also expressed support for arming security officers in schools, which increases fear among students without making classrooms safer. In our local council interview, we were disappointed in her equity analysis and belief that solutions that worked for most kids should be supported instead of designing solutions that worked for the kids who are struggling the most.
Lockwood is the best candidate for Spokane School Board, Director, Position 1.
