STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Jamie Decatur will take her seat on the Stafford County School Board, defeating challenger and one-time School Board member Dana Reinboldt.
Decatur won with the vote by just over 12 points in the Griffis-Widewater District, with 54% of the vote.
We’ve contacted Decatur about her win. We’ll post her comments to this post as soon as we hear from her.
This was a special election for the seat. Reinboldt lost the seat last fall to Emily Fallon, who was convicted this year of stealing $23,000 from Anne E. Moncure Elementary School in North Stafford.
Fallon was the PTO president at the school at the time the cash was found to have been stolen.
Decatur proposes creating a cash capital fund to reduce the need for over budgeting for the county schools, she told us.
