Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Jennifer T. Wall. My husband, three children and I have lived in Gainesville since 2004. Our children are attending or are graduates of PWC schools, including Mountain View Elementary, Gravely Elementary, Bull Run Middle, and Battlefield High. Before our children were born, I earned a law degree, passed the bar and worked for a legislative research firm. In 2000 I left practice to dedicate my time to my children. My focus in law school and in practice was education, state and local government, and constitutional law. Those are still areas of focus for me today and I've enjoyed keeping up on those issues, especially as they affect us locally in Gainesville. As a parent, I know how critical education is to the future of our children, neighborhoods, community and country. Over the years I have volunteered in local schools in many ways. I have served on advisory councils and boundary and advisory committees, helped in classrooms, supported PTO events, assisted the bands and orchestras, chaperoned many events and baked cookies for our teachers. I currently serve as Chair of the PWCS Superintendent's Advisory Committee on Gifted Education. Until this year I served as Chair and Vice-Chair of the Bull Run Middle School Principal's Advisory Council. I've also worked with PWCS administrators and other members of our community on boundary committees that determine boundaries for our middle and elementary schools. I serve on these committees because I want to see our educational system work effectively and I want to make a positive difference for our students. For those same reasons I've decided to run for the Gainesville District seat on the Prince William County School Board. I hope you will support me as I work for you and our children to build our community's future.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Support our Teachers: champion pay raises, reduce class sizes, improve workplace climate and respect, promote transparency and communication
• Invest in our Students: put students before partisanship, expand security protections to all schools, teach beyond the SOLs, get students out of trailers, promote speciality and technical programs
• Promote Fiscal Responsibility: scrutinize budget decisions to ensure taxpayer dollars go to improving student success, spend wisely to effectively plan for growth, hold division administration accountable

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about the following ideas: ||Direct more of our resources into classrooms and make teacher pay more competitive. Likewise, invest in technology that will expand learning opportunities and extend our classrooms. ||Explore revisions to curriculum to foster creativity, project-based learning, innovation, and collaboration in our curriculum and less emphasis on standardized testing.||Expand specialty programs, JROTC, dual enrollment, cross-curricular programs like IB, and vocational/career education. Work with the Commonwealth to secure more flexible diploma requirements so that students in specialty, technical, military and career programs can still meet graduation requirements. ||Broaden safety resource officer (SRO) program to include all PWC schools, and continue recent efforts to bolster mental and emotional health services and resources. ||Increase collaboration among schools to share best practices in the area of delivery of services and in promoting a positive school climate for both teachers and students. ||Develop a robust pre-K online curriculum accessible to parents to help prepare children for formal schooling and encourage parental involvement as early as possible. ||Improve school boundary decision-making processes to help the community understand the data, the process, and the complexity of decisions so that public input can be more informed, relevant, and constructive, and will lead to greater public satisfaction with the results.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My father is a physician. My first job was going in to help out in his office the summer before my eight grade year. I was given tasks that I was responsible for mastering, such as greeting patients, taking medical histories, setting up for biopsies, recording biopsy results in our record books, cleaning rooms, and safely handling used sharps. I was also responsible for calling patients and reminding them of their appointments and helping in the front office with insurance when they were short-staffed. Each task taught me different skills and principles--be pleasant; speak up; be meticulous; be attentive; keep moving; don't quit. I worked every summer after that, into my college years. My dad worked hard and never complained. He was careful and thoughtful. He spent his days helping people with their medical challenges. I learned from his example that learning never stops--that we should be learning throughout our lives, and that we are happier when we do our best to use our knowledge to help others.
