Letter to the Editor: Stafford County School Board has a long way to go

The Stafford County School Board has been making progress on becoming a school division of which we can all be proud. They still have a long way to go, but finally, they are headed in the right direction.

Over the last 12 years, the school division has been headed in the wrong direction. Crowded classrooms, understaffed schools, lack of parity throughout the division, and financial & legal scandals had become the norm.

The Griffis-Widewater District is in desperate need of a voice on the School Board that will work to continue moving the division forward. Jamie Decatur is the leader we need to be that voice, to be an advocate to help those on the board working to improve our schools.

With Jamie on the School Board, the Griffis-Widewater district will have a leader we can all count on. Jamie will not just represent her friends or those with the political connections that seek to only benefit themselves. Jamie will work hard on everyone’s behalf to ensure the schools that serve the Griffis-Widewater district are worthy of our proud community.

Please vote for the leader that will be committed to representing all of us, especially the Griffis-Widewater district, vote for Jamie Decatur on November 8.
