Opinion

Welcome back to another school year here in Prince William County; I am confident it will be a great one.

My name is Wendy Dempsey. I am a resident of Prince William County and a mother of two Prince William County School students: one is in middle school and the other is in elementary school. We have been in the Prince William County Public School System system going on seven years; I am a strong believer in Prince William County Schools. In 2013, I was appointed by my School Board representative, Loree Williams, to be a member of the Safe Schools Advisory Council.
