Special to the News
My name is Sharon Eason Massie, and I have qualified to run as candidate for Coosa County District I Board of Education.
I have served as the District I representative for the past six years. Prior to these six years, I worked 36 years for the Coosa County Board in various positions from substitute bus driver and substitute teacher to full-time bus driver, Chapter I aide, Goodwater Elementary secretary, Central High School secretary, and lastly superintendent’s secretary. I also had five additional years that I worked under the DROP program.
During these years, I learned how a lot of the programs and positions in the school system worked. Through the years I saw things happen that I had no say-so to change. Thinking about many of these things is what led me to initially run for the Board of Education.
Since being on the Board, the other members and I have worked together to accomplish many things to make school better for our students. I feel that one of the biggest things we have accomplished, with the superintendent’s help, is the reopening of the Coosa County Career and Technical Center. Coosa County students are deserving of this.
I am a graduate of the Coosa County School System, my children and my Alabama grandchildren are Coosa County graduates, and I have two great-grandchildren who are students of Coosa County Schools. These things make me proud to work for Coosa County Schools.
With your vote, I would like to continue working for the students of Coosa County. I think our students deserve the best we can give them, and I hope to be a part of giving them our best for the next six years.
