December 29, 1999 - Stan Kawamoto
has been selected to fill the Renton School Board Director District

He was selected from a field of three finalists who were interviewed
in a public process on December 8 and will serve out the remaining
two years of Ms. Barfields term. Kawamoto was sworn in
at the December 15, regularly scheduled board meeting.
Kawamoto, who manages a family-owned construction
business, brings significant experience and skill to the board
having served on the Gifted Education Citizens Advisory
Committee, Advisory Committee for Education, Boundary Committee,
and is currently the chair for the 2000 Maintenance and Operations

Washington Wrestling Officials Association. Kawamotos board
committee assignments this year include the Construction Advisory

"One of the most important strengths of the Renton
School District is our superintendent, staff and their commitment
to the education of our children," commented Kawamoto. "I look
forward to becoming part of the success of the Renton School District."
Kawamotos wife, Karen, is a staff specialist
at Campbell Hill. They have two sons, Matthew and Nicholas, who
