School Board Chairman is not a stepping stone for Tracy Conroy.
Her sole purpose for running is to help the school system make good on the “World Class Education” that it boasts about. She is running for Prince William County Public Schools School Board Chairman as an Independent and is not beholden to any political party.
We citizens of the Potomac Magisterial District and the 31st House of Delegates District need effective representation.
The election of Andrea Bailey to the Potomac District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and Sara Townsend to the 31st Virginia House of Delegates District seat in the Virginia General Assembly on November 3 will meet this need.
When I first met Mr. Joseph George, one of the candidates running for Neabsco District School Board, it was at Minnieville Elementary School in 2010 where both our daughters were attending 3rd Grade.
We began talking and it became apparent early on in our conversation that he was very involved with his children and their school lives. Throughout the years I’ve known him, he has always been willing to volunteer to make his children happy, as well as others, by becoming Santa during the Holidays and or by being the first to step up if help was needed in the classroom.
In less than a week, voters will head to the polls here in Virginia to cast their ballots for representation in the Virginia General Assembly.
It is imperative that we send a message and elect leaders who support women’s health care—now and in the future. For too long, anti-choice advocates have attempted to defund Planned Parenthood. They have failed in the past and they will fail again.
Betty Covington is the right choice for Potomac District, Prince William County School Board. Betty has dedicated her life to helping children, standing up for teachers, giving back to her community.
It was an honor to serve with her on the school board from 2003-2009. You always know where she stands, on the side of our students, teachers and parents.

A 15-year-old is in jail after investigators said he made threats to bomb Brooke Point High School and shoot those at the school.
Stafford authorities were notified of the threat at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27 when the school principal called 911. The school administrator told authorities several parents told him the suspect who is a student at the school, had planned to blow up the school and shoot people at the school, according to a statement from the Stafford sheriff’s office.
Stafford County Public Schools has responded after a photo appeared on Instagram of two girls wearing jackets with offensive lettering.
The photo of two students wearing the jackets was taken at Mountain View High School, according to Stafford County School officials. The school division issued a statement this morning noting the photograph was investigated and that “appropriate actions have been taken.”
Over the past year, I’ve knocked on countless doors across Coles District, telling voters, “I’m running for School Board to prioritize our budget and put more money in the classroom to educate our students.” It’s a simple message, but a focus that will improve our School System. As we prioritize our students, we will achieve the results our community deserves.
While our school system does a lot with the resources it has, there are a number of ways we can do better.
