I wanted to wait until the dust settled on the election to say thank you to the voters of Moore County, but it’s Friday, Nov. 17, and we still do not have a final decision on our top national office.

So let me say briefly how much I appreciate the support and hard work of those people who believed I could well serve the Moore County Schools as a board member. Your confidence is appreciated. I look forward with great excitement to working for you all.
