Colleagues describe him as "Brian comes with a strategic mindset that frames and gives practical meaning to its required tactics." and "I had the pleasure of working with Brian in my role as a co-chair of Citizens for Spokane Schools, and as a member of the Public Affairs Advisory Council for the district. CFSS is a group of volunteers who work for passage of levies and bonds to support the Spokane Public Schools district. Management and leadership of the district are essential to our success on the political side in convincing voters to tax themselves. If they don't have confidence in district administration, they vote no--it's a pretty clear-cut performance review. Brian led the district in decoupling the long-standing connection between poverty and educational attainment--in other words, our kids in the poorest schools were doing just as well or better on standardized measures such as reading scores. The 25-year long-term capital plan gave voters confidence in the district's long-range vision for renovation and new construction to make sure every neighborhood school would be renewed over time. He stressed ongoing communication with the district's citizens so they knew where their tax dollars were going. He communicated all this with caring and with the facts, which is an effective combination. It was a pleasure to work with him in advocating for our kids and our schools."
