Take Wake Schools Back Announces Endorsements for School Board Candidates

RALEIGH, N.C., August 4, 2009 – The Take Wake Schools Back political action committee (PAC) has made its endorsement decisions for the October Wake County Board of Education races.  The PAC endorses Chris Malone in District 1, John Tedesco in District 2, Deborah Prickett in District 7, and Debra Goldman in District 9.

All four candidates passionately advocate Take Wake Schools Back’s mission of bringing common sense back to the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) on behalf of children and families; focusing on community schools, system accountability, flexibility, transparency and excellence.

“Our PAC is thrilled to support four dynamic candidates who have the right ideas and approaches for improving the quality of education in Wake County and better serving the needs of families and taxpayers,” said Dennis Berwyn, a founding member of Take Wake Schools Back. 

Take Wake Schools Back is actively raising money to support Malone, Tedesco, Prickett and Goldman.  The members of the PAC are also volunteering their time to help individual campaigns.  Those who wish to support the PAC’s efforts can do so at www.takewakeschoolsback.com.  The PAC also encourages people to volunteer to help the candidates in their campaigns, especially those who live in one of the four districts up for election.
