Write-In Candidate Kevin Johnson Can Vote on Budgetary Items
By Kevin Johnson

Sunday PM
There was some incorrect information printed in 9/30/16 edition of the Ketchikan Daily News about my ability to vote on budgetary issues if elected to the school board. I have contacted the Ketchikan Daily News and provided them with the same information found in the KGBSD School Board By-laws under the section of "Conflict of Interest". I am only not able to vote on matters that pertain to my wife and her individual teaching contract. I also may not vote on financial matters in which I would directly profit.
I have attached the KGBSD School Board By-laws that cover Conflict of Interest.
Please contact me at kevinjohnson4schoolboard@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments.
Thank You,
Kevin Johnson
