LETTER: Re-elect Mark Blore to the Farmington School Board

As a community we are pleased to see that Mark Blore is running again for a seat on the Board of Education. As a citizen of Farmington with two children in the school system and a wife who is an educator, Mark truly understands the issues that face us as a town.

Mark invests his time and energy in Farmington through volunteering in Boy Scouts and the Exchange Club. Serving last year on the Board of Education Mark Blore, along with the rest of the board, was able to work through many tough issues. Now that it is budget season, it is clear that Mark would like to solve many of our educational problems through common sense solutions and thinking outside of the box during negotiations.

Unfortunately the state has imposed many mandates while at the same time the town is looking to upgrade its facilities and schools. This could become very costly.

We need a man like Mark Blore on the Farmington Board of Education. He has shown in the past year that he is able, through negotiations and forward thinking, to accomplish the necessary goals without laying a heavy burden on the taxpayers.

Vote for Mark Blore for the Board of Education. We need someone who cares about our children and cares about the bottom line.

Lauren Rand
