Honestly, most people outside the education community don’t know what the County Education Office or its board members do. The office staff and board members go about their important business with professionalism and skill, without fanfare or hype.
Because four of the seats on the board are up for election, however, it’s an important time to help community members cast informed votes.
As the former County Superintendent of Schools, it was one of my great honors to work with the incumbents who are seeking reelection. These individual have been highly effective on the county school board because their background and expertise equipped them to make decisions and take actions with direct positive impacts on students, teachers, families, programs, and school districts throughout the county.
