To the Editor:

I’m delighted that Sherri Story will not be running for reelection to the Suffolk School Board.

Once in a while I come across a news story that brings joy to my heart. The North Suffolk News-Herald story in the March 20, edition front page story about Sherri Story not running for reelection is your best story so far this year.

I want to thank Ms. Story for running, getting elected and serving on the School Board and I sincerely wish her well in all her future endeavors.

As a retired school teacher who went on to get elected and served for 12 years on a school board in the Fredericksburg area I have more than a passing interest in public education, and it has become increasingly clear to me and many others that Ms. Story does not belong on the School Board. I’m delighted that she will not be running for reelection and I would respectfully recommend that for the benefit and well-being of all the parties involved, she should seriously consider resigning immediately.
