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.
From Prince William police:
Possession of Child Pornography – In October of 2016, information was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that the suspect, later identified as the accused, was uploading child pornography to the internet. On November 1, detectives from the Prince William County Police Special Victim’s Unit and the Northern Virginia/Metropolitan D.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at a residence in the 3000 block of Forestdale Ave in Woodbridge (22193) regarding the investigation. Evidence supporting the possession of child pornography was seized. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Andrew EMANN, was arrested.
Stafford’s voters spoke loud and clear last year in the Griffis-Widewater school board race.
Hopefully, they’ll do the right thing, yet again, as they select their school board representative in less than two weeks. Stafford families deserve a representative with fresh ideas and 21st-century thinking to solve 21st-century education challenges. Someone with a vested interest in seeing the school division continue on its critical path the excellence.
