2014

Hall explained her themes for the 2014 race on her campaign website:

“	Community Involvement We need more community involvement. When a community comes together to support education, then real change can occur. When the community votes for government leaders who value education, then education will be funded. When parents are involved in their children's education, then the children will do better. When a parent can't be there, having quality community centers or community programs can help ensure those students stay on a path to success. When a community is educated and aware of the benefits that come from having quality education, then the entire community will grow and prosper. Education is a path to overall community wellness; and when the community members feel heard and know that their voice and vote will matter, then we will have real change. Our schools are dealing with the challenges presented by poverty on a daily basis. This effects our children and their ability to succeed. Currently 26% of the students in Frederick County schools live below the poverty line. Our schools need to be prepared for the effects that poverty has on our children and have programs in place to address the students' needs. Frederick County is experiencing a growing problem with drugs, and that is being reflected in our schools. Our schools current outdated drug awareness program is not sufficient to address the current drug issues. The education system must work with the community and law enforcement to help tackle this issue by providing drug prevention education, treatment for addicts and enforcement of the laws to get dealers at bay. Early Intervention This is a passionate issue for me. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in kindergarten and received services immediately. That early intervention allowed me to have future academic success, including honors classes in high school, graduating with Honors from Pima Community College and going on to earn a Bachelors' Degree. There is a movement within education to wait until second grade before evaluating students for learning disabilities (and in some cases for giftedness). If problems can be identified earlier, that allows more time for specialized help and treatment. In my case, I was passing, but struggling. With help, I went from struggling to succeeding; and I want others to have access to that type of help. Every student should have access to supportive services. I have a daughter with a speech delay, and her access to intervention through the county and school system has been a valuable asset. Currently standardized testing is being heavily relied on to evaluate the quality of education and educators, when in reality no set of tests can give an accurate depiction of everyday life inside the classroom. There are students who start at a disadvantage, whether it be from environmental factors such as poverty or from a physical, mental or learning disability, and those disadvantages aren't taken into account when giving a "standardized" test. These tests don't account for students who are making marked improvements but are still falling short of what is deemed the average. They also can't measure attributes such as creativity or innovation. These tests often result in penalizing schools that need the most support. Rating entire schools based on a single set of tests, which don't consider the makeup or challenges of the those schools, sets up the education system for failure. Additionally, the results of these standardized tests don't seem to be used to improve education. Too much of our resources are devoted to the administration and grading of these tests, instead of being used to educate our children. I was appalled to hear in a recent meeting that there are plans to start doing simple one line questions for standardized tests on pre-K and kindergarten students. These students are just beginning to learn basic social skills, such as sharing, waiting in line and taking turns. Pre-K and kindergarten has become increasingly academic without any assurance that these new standards will lead to future academic success. Free play, such as recess, has been shown to increase performance on literacy tasks, increase class participation and decrease fidgeting, especially in students with hyperactivity (Jarrett, 2013). Children, especially the youngest students, can benefit by learning through play. We want the youngest students to want to learn, to be engaged at their level – and often that means through imaginative play. Adequate Funding Our teachers are our most important asset, and in order for FCPS to keep and attract quality teachers, we must offer competitive salaries and benefits. These teachers are in the classroom every day interacting with students – getting to know them, helping them, and growing each student's knowledge and love of learning. They deserve a fair compensation for all that they do for our children and in turn for our community. Quality teachers deserve quality pay. FCPS technology is underwhelming. Both the students and staff are suffering due to outdated technology. Computer labs frequently have computers that simply don't work. To do evaluations for teachers, staff must carry their systems from class to class, find an outlet to plug into to get on the network, log on and then start the evaluation process. Upgrading schools to allow for wifi, as has been done at a few schools for the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs, has been shown to benefit both students and staff. Additionally, as our world becomes increasingly tech savvy, so must the students. Upgrading technology would allow for more students to take more technical classes, such as writing code, at both middle and high school levels. Better technology can also be used to help benefit ELL who can use e-textbooks that can help translate difficult to understand concepts into their native language. There could be endless uses for iPads in the special education classes. FCPS is behind the technological curve, and that will begin to have an impact on students. Upgrading technology is essential.	”

What was at stake?

Issues in the election

June 2 candidate forum

Frederick Classical Charter School hosted a candidate forum on June 2, 2014 featuring all nine board candidates on the primary ballot. The candidates agreed on general principles related to charter school development including the necessity of parental choice. Most candidates also agreed that the state's approach to charter schools does not provide enough independence for local parents and education officials. Millicent Hall argued that state laws governing charter schools need to remain rigorous to ensure education quality. April Fleming Miller pointed out that the state's strict rules for charter approval yielded three successful charter schools in the county rather than allowing a flood of inadequate charter options. Hall, Kenneth Kerr and Liz Barrett received endorsements from the Frederick County Teachers Association (FCTA) but asserted their independence from outside influences during the forum. Incumbents Miller, Colleen E. Cusimano and Brad W. Young stated earlier in the forum that the FCTA was actively opposed to charter school expansion in the county.
