Campaign themes
2014
Stodghill explained his reasons for running in 2014 on his campaign's Facebook page:
| “ |
Four years ago the voters of the Central District elected me to the Newport News School Board. Since that time I have worked to bring back the 10-point grading scale, enrich our curriculum with creativity, problem solving and critical thinking skills. Over that time we have seen a dramatic increase in on-time graduation and a dramatic reduction in the drop-out rate. I want to continue the work to make our school system even better by focusing on improving school culture, student achievement and teaching conditions. |
