In my opinion charter schools are an option of last resort for failing schools. Charter schools are not appropriate for WC because it would dilute resources and not add value. I am against vouchers because the concept redirects public tax dollars into unaccountable, private institutions. The entire WC community benefits from having a strong public school system.Which of the following statements best describes your position on the allocation of the County’s education resourcesI believe we need to continue investment in our current system and leadership to address challenges and opportunitiesPlease explain your answerI want to stay the course and build on the accomplishments of WCS.

I want to zero in on a plan of action to achieve this vision and explore community partnerships to help support it. Increased opportunities for creative expression and physical activity will enhance growth and learning.What is the website address of your campaign or Facebook page?https://www.facebook.com/VickiVogtforSchoolBoard
