Marcie Shea is a wife, mom, Henrico educator, and Richmond native who believes that great education comes from great teachers. Marcie has experience as a teacher and parent in the Tuckahoe district. With a bachelor's degree in physics and a masters of education in science curriculum and instruction, she taught Advanced Placement, honors, and college prep physics at Freeman High School and is currently a Pemberton Elementary School parent. Since stepping away from the full-time high school classroom to focus on raising her family, Marcie continues to invest in Henrico schools through coaching new physics teachers, working one-on-one with struggling high school students, serving on the PTA, and volunteering teaching STEM for elementary students. She is passionate about supporting teachers, meeting all students where they are, and educating the whole child. Her perspective from being in the trenches of teaching and now in the trenches as a parent, gives her a unique understanding of what educational policy looks like from the ground level upon implementation.

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?

• Impose a cap on class size
• Expand quality non-AP class offerings in the high school and technical centers
• Increase school counselors to reach the recommended 250:1 ratio

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

School policy has to be about our students and teachers, not politics. We need people on the School Board that have been in the classroom and understand what policy looks like when it gets to our students and teachers. ||I am passionate about using a classroom lens for policies and budget allocations to ensure that are truly able to meet all students where they are as well as treating teachers and faculty like the professionals they are.||We have to move beyond the testing culture that has created inch-deep, mile-wide content. This means giving our students more than just content knowledge by growing critical thinking and problem solving perseverance. Content is not the end goal of our education in Henrico. It is a vehicle to get to better destinations.||We have to ensure our students and faculty are safe - physically and mentally. This requires considering a cap on class sizes, increasing school counselors, and proactive building designs for new construction and renovations as well as considering how school culture and class offerings affect the epidemic of adolescent depression and anxiety.||We need to affirm our students in their skills and passions and encourage them to take a path that turn those into careers - whether that be a 2 or 4 year school, employment, or enlistment.||Most of all, we must ensure that all students, in all parts of Henrico County, have access to a high quality education.
