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.
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.

Eugene Hoitt, 19, of Manassas, VA has been inducted into the National Youth Leadership Society Class of 2016 by the Boy Scouts of America. Less than ten Scouts and Venturers in the Washington, DC Metro Region have been awarded this very rare recognition.
Unlike more familiar Scouting awards such as the Eagle Scout award, the National Youth Leadership Society is managed through the national office of the Boy Scouts of America and relies upon nominations from Boy Scout councils in the local communities. Nomination criteria include earning the highest awards in Scouting. Hoitt earned the Eagle Scout award and the Silver Award, capstone awards from both the Boy Scout program as well as the Venturing Program. In addition, nominees must take considerable amounts of leadership training, and give back to their fellow Scouts through serving in multiple leadership roles. It is the aim of the National Youth Leadership Society to recognize the youth members of the BSA who have provided elite levels of leadership skills and selfless service to others.
Secretary Clinton cannot have it both ways regarding the WikiLeaks hacking claims. It either did or did not happen. Her response to the “public and private face” she had an answer too. But we are being told other leaks are from “Russia.”
Some of these leaks have come from her most inner circle. An inner circle whose words have become extremely derogatory towards Catholics and Evangelicals. In order to preserve the religious liberties I hold dearly, I must err on the side of caution and now speak to now protect them.
