Records show Stanwood-Camano school board plagued by ideological strife [View all]

STANWOOD — Upheaval from a politically motivated effort to take control of Stanwood-Camano Island School District’s board of directors has spilled over into the community.

Stanwood-Camano Island School District board members Betsy Foster, Al Schreiber and Steven King have repeatedly been asked by community members to resign.

The trio has ties to local Republican activist groups. School board elections in Washington are nonpartisan by state law.

School board divisions have resulted in infighting, the messy departure of district superintendent Deborah Rumbaugh and allegations that the board has routinely broken state law.
