The future of county’s schools at stake in election

Editor,

As the Worcester County Board of Education election approaches, it’s crucial to focus on what’s best for our schools. Re-electing experienced leaders for these seats is key to ensuring our schools receive the support they need to thrive.

During their time on the board, the incumbents have faced numerous challenges, including funding shortages and debates over educational priorities. They have consistently advocated for small class sizes, adequate funding, and a commitment to high-quality education for all students in Worcester County.

In contrast, some challengers seem more focused on national political rhetoric than addressing the real issues facing our schools. They have yet to engage in meaningful discussions about local needs like teacher shortages and the effects of underfunding on classrooms.

This is a non-partisan election, and the focus should be on providing the best educational opportunities for our children, not on state-level distractions. As voters, we must look beyond divisive issues and consider what truly benefits our students and community.

Let’s ensure our school board is led by individuals who prioritize education, advocate for necessary funding, and stand up for the future of Worcester County.
