Seattle School Board votes unanimously to appoint Erin Dury to represent Ballard, Magnolia and Queen Anne schools
“I am honored and grateful to serve District IV and the Seattle Public Schools,” Dury
said after the vote Wednesday. “I recognize the privilege and position
of power this appointment has and know that true service will be shown
through action and centering community voice, particularly those who
historically and currently do not have the access to have their voice
heard. I know there’s a lot of work to do and reconstruction to happen. …
I am ready to do the work and I am here in service.”
Dury works at Ampersand Community, a nonprofit that consults with
community organizations to embed anti-racist practices into their
operational structures and management. She’s also served as the
executive director of Oregon CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Network, where she helped develop policies and establish private,
government and nonprofit partners for the organization.
