Matthew East is running for Blue Ridge School Board seat
| My name is Matthew J. East and I would like to officially announce that I am running for the Botetourt County School Board for the Blue Ridge District. I was born and raised in the Roanoke Valley graduating from William Byrd High School in 1994. I have lived in the Blue Ridge District of Botetourt County for over 13 years. God has truly blessed my wife Erica and I with two precious daughters ages 14 and 9.As a graduate of Liberty University with a Masters degree is Management and Leadership and a Bachelors degree in Business Management and Accounting, I learned the leadership and life skills to be a success in everything I set my mind too.I strongly feel that the School Board has simply become a rubber stamp for the Superintendent. Unfortunately, fiscal responsibility has become a thing of the past and your tax dollars are not being used efficiently. I want to change that and make sure that the children of Botetourt County have the best educational opportunities available. We have tremendous teachers and staff in our school system. However, it has become more of a bureaucracy than an education system.I commit to you that I will:- Fight for the CHILDREN and PARENTS everyday that I am in office. – Bring fiscal responsibility back to the school system. – Hold OUR Administration accountable and remind them that they are there to serve the CITIZENS, not themselves. – Fight to ensure that the parents have a say in what goes on inside the schools. – Ensure a SAFE learning environment for our children, with updated security measures.I count it a sincere privilege to be able to run for School Board for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Botetourt County.
