I can honestly say if Dr. Clack had won, I would have immediately pulled my child out of the school system & homeschooled him. I can't believe that she has any affiliation with the education system here in NC. I have a few emails from her that well let's just say other parents would be interested in seeing.

ljc102376...I too am delighted that Dr. Clack has been defeated. I have children in elementary school, at New Century, and Union Pines. I am one of those parents you mentioned that would be interested in seeing the emails you referenced. Would you be willing to share them? My email is bkcs0529@gmail.com. Of course I would understand if you do not wish to do so. But thank you for sharing your thoughts, which closely mirror my own.

I can honestly say, knowing Ben he will be a wonderful addition to the Moore county school board. Who better to have in this chair then one who himself went to Cameron Elementary and Union Pines... I know that you will do everything in your power for the kids... Very happy to hear that you won!

Mrs Clack has served the Board of Education very well. When I had a problem she handled it very professionally. I wish she had won this supposedly nonpartisian election.
