District 2

My name is Ashley Burgoyne, a proud resident of Rockingham County. My husband and I have three children and have planted our roots in Singers Glen. I have worked in Public Safety for 12 years serving the citizens of Rockingham County and now want to focus specifically on our kids! I am running for School Board in District 2 which includes Singers Glen, Edom, Dayton, Mt Clinton, Silver Lake.

I am running for District 2 because I understand that school issues are a matter of urgency to all parents in this community. My children are my top priority and I want the absolute best for them when it comes to their education. As a volunteer in the community, I have come to care for so many of my children’s friends, their peers, and their parents. The students in Rockingham County deserve safe schools, quality education, and positive influences at school. I believe we need an effective plan to get our kids caught up from the years of school during the pandemic. I know firsthand that teaching and playing catch up at home does not always work. I think we can figure out a way to support our teachers better that will ensure they are able to meet parents’ and school expectations during their workday. I have seen some of the most amazing teachers and staff sending messages and emails outside of their normal work hours, which shows how incredibly dedicated they are to our children. Parents deserve transparency and to be fully involved in their children’s education. I want to work with parents and listen to your ideas and what YOU want from our schools!

I am here to support the faculty and staff of our schools because they have one of the most important jobs in the world. I want to be the voice of parents. I will advocate for our kids!
