St. Paul Pioneer Press endorses Jean!!!!!
“For schools, start with O’Connell”
We are looking for urgent approaches and strong leadership skills for the St. Paul School Board. Jean O’Connell, a retired business executive with a passion for her hometown’s public schools, fits the bill. We strongly endorse her for a four-year term on the school board in Tuesday’s election…..Of the six members seeking four-year terms, Jean O’Connell strikes us as the strongest candidate. Her background in community affairs, manufacturing and business operations for the 3M Co. and her volunteer work within the St. Paul school system give her both experience and perspective. As a Central High grad and lifelong St. Paulite, she has convinced us, as she convinced other groups in the community, that she would be the kind of independent leader the board needs.”
