Why Your Voice Matters More Than Ever: Vivian D. Mansaray f

In the wake of unprecedented changes in the educational landscape, including the potential disbandment or significant reduction of the U.S. Department of Education, the role of local school boards has never been more critical. As we face this pivotal moment, it is essential to elect leaders who are prepared to step up, advocate for our students, and ensure that our schools continue to thrive. Vivian D. Mansaray is that leader. Her vision, dedication, and deep understanding of the challenges facing our community make her the ideal candidate for the Ferguson Florissant Board of Education.

For decades, the federal government has played a significant role in shaping education policy, providing funding, and setting standards for schools across the nation. However, with the potential dismantling or downsizing of the U.S. Department of Education, many of these responsibilities will fall to state and local entities. This shift means that local school boards will have to take on a more active role in ensuring that our schools receive the resources and support they need to succeed.

Local school boards will now be tasked with:

1. Securing Funding and Resources: Without federal oversight, local boards will need to work even harder to secure funding for programs, teacher salaries, infrastructure, and student resources.
2. Setting Educational Standards: In the absence of federal guidelines, local boards will have the responsibility of setting and maintaining high academic standards that prepare students for college, careers, and life.
3. Ensuring Equity and Inclusion: Local boards will need to prioritize policies that ensure all students, regardless of background, have access to a high-quality education.
4. Advocating for Students and Families: School boards will serve as the primary voice for their communities, advocating for policies that reflect the needs and values of the people they serve.

This is a monumental shift, and it underscores the importance of electing board members who are not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to the success of every student. Vivian D. Mansaray has the experience, passion, and vision to lead our district through this transition.
