Letter: Blatchford for School Board

I am running for Anchorage School Board Seat E in the Municipal Election April 6. I commend all the other 14 candidates who are running for the four open seats. Please inform yourself about all the candidates.

Anchorage School District serves 41,700 children and is essential to our quality of life here. We have an excellent school system. I filed for Anchorage School Board because I want ASD to continue to be one of the best pre-K-12 systems in the U.S.This is really a difficult time in ASD with COVID-19. Every staff member should be vaccinated immediately. If I would be fortunate enough for you to choose me as one of your School Board members, I will be sworn in in May 2021. I intend to review first thoroughly the quality of the ventilation systems in our schools.

My job will be to get as much funding as possible for our children. I know well and have worked with many Alaska legislators. I support small class sizes and want the money we receive to be put into the classroom, where the children are.

Please review my extensive background online. I hope you will invite me to introduce myself during this campaign.

— Edgar Blatchford
