Adair leaning toward a bid for reelection First-term school board member cites her finances proficiency by Jason Reade OF THE RECORD STAFF With Park City Board of Education President Colleen Bailey announcing last week she would not seek another term in the fall, the only other board member up for reelection - Pinebrook resident Kathryn Adair - said she will likely make a run for a second term. "I'm seriously considering seeking another anoth-er term," she said in an interview with The Park Record Thursday. The former business executive execu-tive and mother of three said some words of wisdom in 1998 from Roger Fulmer, the vacating board member whose seat Adair now holds, certainly cer-tainly rang true - it takes years to mmmmmmmmmmmmm gain a real understanding under-standing of the job. "I have found it to be true what my predecessor pred-ecessor Roger Fulmer said - it takes several years to get up to speed on policy and procedures," pro-cedures," she said. "It takes awhile to get to where you feel like you are making a contribution. contri-bution. At this point now, I feel like I can make a strong contribution." As it is for any rookie board member, Adair said her first term in office has largely involved learning the complexities of school district governance - federal and state requirements, curriculum, teacher relations and budgets, to name a few. Adair, who has master's degrees in human resources and business administration administra-tion from the University of Utah, has become well known for her thorough understanding under-standing of school district finances. To many, the very mention of M&O, PPU and voted leeways is enough to make their eyes glaze over. But as the board member whose specialty special-ty is understanding finances, Adair has made it her mission to help teachers, district patrons and anyone else who will listen gain a better grasp of yearly school budgets. To that end, she makes presentations to teachers and Parent Teacher Organization members at district schools. "If there are any groups that would like to have a question-and-answer session on school finances, I'm more than happy to do that," Adair said. "We've made a huge amount of progress in helping our teachers and constituents understand the numbers," she added. Adair said her 1998 run for Fulmer's seat came as a result of her involvement in school PTO's and site councils. "I had been working. . .going on 20 years, and I was frustrated I was not involved enough day-to-day in the school lives of my children," Adair said. It was- nt long after she took an early retirement retire-ment and started volunteering vol-unteering in her kids' schools that fellow active parents started start-ed prodding Adair to con sider running for the board. "A lot of the people I met suggested that my business aspect would be an asset on the school board," Adair said. In the four years since, Adair said the only downside has been that she has not been able to devote as much time as she would like directly to her children's schools. "My one disappointment has been that... being hands on in my children's classrooms class-rooms has been thwarted," Adair said. But she is trying to remedy that - Adair was a substitute teacher in her son Mattfc fourth-grade class at Jeremy Ranch Elementary School, a practice she plans on continuing in the future. While she is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of a second campaign, Adair said she believes the voters in her district - which includes the neighborhoods of Summit Park, Timberline and Pinebrook - understand her positive contributions to the board. "One of my biggest assets is my ability to understand and communicate the financial -assets," she said. . We've made a huge amount of progress in helping out teachers and constituents understand the numbers. " - Kathryn Adair School board member in less lip 1? i v U r,: 1 .. V ' - .1 .
