Letter to the Editor: Congratulations to the New School Board

Alexandria City Public Schools School Board candidate Michael Brookbank congratulates the board's newly elected members.

To the Editor:

As a candidate for ACPS School Board last November, it was my pleasure to get to know many of my fellow candidates. We found during the campaign that we have much more in common than differences; we all want the best education possible for our children.

And though I was not elected, I have formed many new associations and friendships. Our new School Board has seven new members, and seven of the nine elected candidates are teacher endorsed.

Alexandrians are fortunate to have such a talented and strong board. I’m sure that I join all Alexandrians in wishing them the very best as they meet the challenges ahead.
