SCHOOLS: Wary of Common Core

| May 17, 2013 9:46 PM

Common Core is a subject that needs to be carefully studied and Regan, Seddon, and Handeen are doing just that. Hazel, Hearn and Eubanks have all given a thumbs up to the common core and are ready to move along with it. Please consider who best represents you on this decision when voting.

My wife and I both are very concerned about what this would do to our student’s future education and we are hearing the same concern from many of you in our community. As my wife has been talking to many of you these past few weeks while she walks door to door for the election, the most often asked question has been about common core, not one word about political labels as the paper would have you to believe. Please vote carefully, being FULLY informed on these and other important issues. I encourage you to go directly to the candidate for clarification before assuming the information you have is accurate. Please do not rely on hearsay or misinformation. This election is too critical to vote without great consideration and care. Making the right choice in who represents you for the next 4 years is not something to be taken lightly. As it has been said, being nice is not good enough to vote for someone, there needs to be good reasoning and logic behind it. Please vote Regan, Seddon and Handeen this Tuesday May 21st.
