Guilford Educators Endorse Democrats, Independents In BOE Race

Submitted by The Guilford Education Association:

"The Guilford Teachers Association Executive Board Officers, representing 305 educators, has endorsed five candidates for the Guildford Board of Education. We believe these individuals will work hard to ensure our students have a high-quality education that prepares them for the future.
GEA has endorsed:

Jennifer Baldwin
Kristy Faulkner
Noel Petra
Moira Rader
Arnold Skretta

In a questionnaire sent to all candidates, Baldwin, Faulkner, Petra, Rader, and Skretta expressed their support for students, teachers, and public education. They expressed views similar to educators’ regarding school funding, the need to ensure teachers’ voices are heard, keeping our schools safe, problems with dual instruction, and the need for Guilford Public Schools to teach about inclusion, diversity, and equity.

The Republican candidates did not respond with the reason provided by campaign manager, Mary Beeman.

The GEA Executive Board Officers all agree that it is vitally important that our Board of Education members work with the teachers, parents, and community members for the benefit of all of our students and staff. Children deserve an honest and accurate education that enables them to learn about the past in order to help create a better future. We believe the five endorsed candidates will work together with us to ensure that we have the best teaching and learning environments in our schools to cultivate critical thinking and help all our students succeed and live fulfilling lives.”
