Letter from Doris Alderson supports Dana McCaleb for Fincastle school board
Dear Editor,
| I have watched the race for School Board Member for the Fincastle District with much concern. I am supporting Dana McCaleb for many reasons. Dana has 15 years of service as a classroom teacher here in Botetourt County. She has over 23 years of combined experience as a professional educator. Dana has worked with The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. She currently works for the Virginia Department of Education’s Training and Technical Assistance Center at Virginia Tech. Through the years, Dana’s commitment to the young people of Botetourt County has been unwavering. She has helped many students become successful in school and after graduation. Dana’s passion for seeing that our children excel is evident to all who have worked with or associated with her. While other candidates have qualifications in other areas, only Dana has qualifications and real-world experience in education. In addition, I do not think it wise to elect a School Board Member who already has a sibling sitting on the Board. In the past eight years, I have become very familiar with current school board duties as well as future goals. I believe Dana will do the best job for Botetourt County. She will be fair-minded, independent, and will not bow to special interests. I encourage you, on November 5, to cast your vote for, The Educator Candidate, Dana McCaleb. Sincerely, Doris Alderson, Fincastle |
