Dottery Butler-Washington
Why I am Running
I am running for the Charles County Board of Education, District 3 seat
because I believe that our public education is closely linked to the success of our community. Investing in our students now mean a vibrant future for Charles County. In order to provide every student with the education they deserve. I believe if I am a member of the Charles County Board of Education, I would revisit the vision, create a structure to support the vision, and be accountable to the public. We must also advocate for our students at every opportunity. I believe I am the right candidate to represent the District 3 community and have the best interest of all students in the school district.
Dottery's Plan
- Stop school bullying and sexual misconduct.
- Increase teachers' pay.
- Advocate for the mental health needs for all students.
- Close student learning gap within our schools.
