“Cox is the kind of person the St. Louis Park School Board needs,” by Tom Horner

 All three of our adults kids are homeowners in St. Louis Park. Our one granddaughter (and, we hope, more to come!) will one day be a St. Louis Park student, so I feel deeply invested in maintaining and enhancing the quality of schools in St. Louis Park. Over the past two decades, I have had the opportunity to work directly with Colin Cox in a variety of roles and to see him in action as a parent, in the community and in his professional life. What I know about Colin is that he is a respectful person, one who listens to all and a person passionate about the quality of education.”
