Speak Out: Woodbridge District School Board Candidates

Prince William County School Board elections are Nov. 5 and incumbent Steven Keen and candidate Loree Williamsare vying for the Woodbridge District seat. Keen was sworn in on Jan. 2 to fill the vacancy left by Denita Ramirez's November resignation. Williams, an involved PWCS parent, is Keen's only challenger to the seat. 

Woodbridge Patch interviewed Williams earlier this month. 

"There's a lot of perspective and diversity that I bring to the table," Williams said. "I am a new face to the board. I bring a new voice. I am a product of PWCS, so I have a history with the system. I'm a very participatory Prince William County resident. I have a student right now in the school system." 

Woodbridge Patch also interviewed Keen. 

"Without a five-year budget plan, there's no stability. That's what's been going on the last several years: the lack of stability. Stability is key. We need to get that ship righted first. No one is unique. There's no one who can't be replaced on any board. But I believe that I am particularly suited to right that ship," Keen said.
