Local elections have long been considered less important than the national elections. However, voters are learning that they actually have more impactful consequences to the community.
School boards were created to be non-partisan. CCAP leadership has representation from both political parties and does not believe that a person's party determines their value as a member of the school board. We believe that school board members need to understand, support, and celebrate our Coatesville community and our diverse student body; they need to be dedicated to improving our schools, be accountable to their constituents, hold school personnel accountable, and make sound financial decisions that support the district's mission.
CCAP is grateful for the community members running for a seat on the school board. We know that the role is undervalued, requires long hours, and staunch dedication. We are excited to announce that next week we will be sharing the responses solicited from each candidate.
Since Lyryn Yacoe, the founder of CCAP, is a candidate running for school board, she will not be involved in any postings or monitoring of discussions related to the election.
If elected, Lyryn will step away from CCAP, and the remaining leadership team will take over her responsibilities.
