Allie Wright is a Trimble County school board member
Please share why you decided to run for your local school board.
I decided to run for the Trimble County School Board because I believe every child deserves the best education possible and I wanted to be in a position that could help make that goal possible.
What is your favorite thing about serving on your local board?
Working with the students in our school district, listening to their goals and their excitement when they accomplish something new.
What activities do you enjoy doing outside your board work?
I love to read, crafts and traveling. I'm a 911 dispatcher; that is very rewarding when you can help someone during a bad time in their life.
Name someone in your life you admire, or who inspired or helped you along the way.
My dad, my grandmother and my history teacher in high-school.
Name a book/magazine/website/publication/etc. that you would recommend to other school board members.
