CHARLESTON, W.Va – With election season approaching, longtime Kanawha County Schools employee Lisa Otey is running for the county board of education.
Otey spent 35 years in the Kanawha County school system in various roles, including:
I started as a preschool teacher. I was a kindergarten teacher, a librarian, a technician, a reading interventionist, and then the last six years of my career I was a reading specialist.
Otey believes her experience, particularly as a reading interventionist, has given her a deep understanding of the county's inner workings and prepared her to make an impact on the school board.
