Beverley Manor school board now has a conservative choice

Conservative local businessman Chris Foschini has announced that he is a write-in candidate for the Augusta County School Board in the Beverley Manor District.

Foschini is a proponent of strict oversight of school funds, stopping the closure of elementary schools in the county, and supports Weekday Religious Education (WRE). He also believes integrating technology into the classroom will save school dollars.

A strong proponent in educating young people in money management, Foschini noted, “Our country’s financial crisis is a result of poor money and debt management. Part of the solution must be educating our young people to make wise decisions and planning when it comes to their financial future.”

Foschini, who is married with three children, is a military dad with a son in the United States Army. His  opponent, Lee Godfrey, is also running as a write-in candidate. Previously, she unsuccessfully ran as a Democrat for Beverley Manor District supervisor seat and, in 2007, she was pictured in the Rockbridge Weekly holding a sign at an anti-war rally.

The election is Tuesday, November 8. Beverley Manor precincts are Jolivue, Stuarts Draft Elementary, and Verona. School board candidates run as Independents.

Foschini's press release from The Journey:
Augusta County, Virginia – November 3, 2011 – Chris Foschini decides to put his name forward as a write-in candidate for the Augusta County School Board in the Beverley Manor District.

Local business owner, Chris Foschini, feels the conservative needs are not represented on the ballot this Tuesday for the Beverley Manor School Board seat. If elected, Chris Foschini will support Week Day Religious education, strict oversight of school funds, keeping Ladd elementary and Beverley Manor open, and integrating technology into the classroom thus saving school dollars.

Chris Foschini’s biggest concern is that young people graduating at the high school level do not have sufficient education about money management. Chris would push for mandatory financial education before graduation. “Our country’s financial crisis is a result of poor money and debt management. Part of the solution must be educating our young people to make wise decisions and planning when it comes to their financial future.”

Chris Foschini is married to his wife Stephanie, he has three children, one in the United States Army and two others currently attending Augusta County Public Schools. Chris Foschini and his family are members of the Assembly of God at Destiny Family Center in Stuarts Draft.
