New Candidate for School Board District 5

[Misty]

You seem to be beating a dead horse

Campanella may have dropped out of the race but the issue of school privatization is far from over. It is an imminent threat to public education.

When I was registered to vote as a resident of Santa Rosa Beach, I actually considered running for school board in District 5 and I also had decided that I would serve and waive the salary (or donate it back) but I realized that I couldn't win, being an outsider, and I wasn't willing to beg people for money to run a campaign. Where I come from people don't spend thousand of dollars to run for county offices and I really don't like politics anyway.

These people never give up. I guess there is too much money involved.

The foxes have cleaned out the hen house now they are looking to eat our children.

Governor Rick Scott proclaimed that January 21st through January 27th is Florida School Choice Week. During the National School Choice Week, there will be more than 3,800 events across Florida held to celebrate the opportunity in education and start conversations about educational options parents have or want to have for their children. National School Choice Week is held every January as an independent, nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort designed to put a positive spotlight on education options that affect every child. National School Choice Week President Andrew Campanella stated, “Florida has been a leader in the school choice movement, and we are pleased that Governor Scott has issued this proclamation to make School Choice Week official in Florida. School choice has been gaining momentum across the country and we in Florida have played an important role. We hope all Florida parents will find a school that’s best for their children.”

National School Choice Week is backed by right-wing foundations and think tanks that support a range of efforts to divert funding from public schools.

The best reason to run from this is, billionaire Betsy DeVos, Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. Secretary of Education and Andrew Campanella!

Seems an obvious desire for a continuing course for a less educated, more religious population.

Andrew is one of the smartest men I know. Never had children in the school system yet wants to make a difference. Good for you Andrew.

Now the bad part is he has always been a Huge Cecilia Jones supporter. He helped manage her campaign and believed she was a good honest person.

Wish Andrew, I did not think she put you up to run. You do not need the Blue money or support . Hope you are running for the right reasons. If so you might wake up Walton County and truly make a difference for our children. I hope so .

If you are just running for the gang then count me out.

If Betty DeVos and Donald Trump aren't even to make folks run from this effort to privatize public education, Cecilia Jones should seal the deal! Don't walk, RUN!!
