Today we need YOUR ACTION to get Dr. Michael Bellerose elected to Indian River School Board this Tuesday, May 9th. Most of us cannot participate in this election as we may not live in District 2, but we can, we HAVE TO, get the vote out in support of Dr. Michael Bellerose. If we do not, then it's a slippery slope down the Progressive, Democrat we Want All The Control Party of DemoKarens, who will be in charge for the long haul, telling YOU and your family what you can do and NOT do. And when we DO get Dr. Bellerose elected, then welcome freedom of thought, freedom of expression, religious freedom and freedom of speech, for our children and for us. Let's get back to basics, reading, writing, arithmetic. No more woke agenda in our schools!
How Do I Help?
Dr. Bellerose will be door knocking this Saturday, May 6, in the Georgetown and Millsboro area of District 2. starting at 9 a.m. Let's come out join him!

The Caesar Rodney Institute's Director of Education Excellence
Tanya Hettler, Ph.D. has recommended a few questions that you can ask of any school board candidate:
What are they going to do about the violence in the schools? correct answer: restore consequence based discipline
What are they going to do about the poor academic performance? correct answer: back to the basics
Need for greater transparency/ parents bill of rights - do they support this?
We're at the top in spending but at the bottom in outcomes. How are they going to improve outcomes? Instead of every student getting the same amount of money, do weighted funding to give extra money to those who need it - English learners, low income students, students with disabilities.
