As a parent, teacher, past Board of Education member and current Co-Chair of the Hampton-Scotland School Readiness Council, I have the skills, experience, and perspective necessary to do the job.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Candidate Statements for Region 11 Hampton BOE</title>
 <link>http://hampton.smartcampaigns.com/node/456</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;**UPDATE: Congratulations Mr. Askew. George was elected by the assembled members of the town with no opposition.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are public statements from the two declared candidates for the Region 11 Board of Education candidates. The Annual Town Meeting is Monday June 11 at 7 pm. Don&#039;t forget Pie Social before hand!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Follow this &lt;a href=&quot;http://hampton.smartcampaigns.com/node/431&quot;&gt;LINK&lt;/a&gt; to read the meeting agenda.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;George Askew&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I first learned of the District 11 School Board vacany when I was asked for suggestions to replace retiring member Sharon Wakely, who deserves a very big &quot;Thank You&quot; for her efforts as a board member of ten years!  I began to think of how I might help and decided to become a candidate.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Congressman Joe Courtney Gets Key Committee Assignments</title>
 <link>http://hampton.smartcampaigns.com/node/349</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;From the New London Day:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&quot;Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, was named Tuesday to the House Education and Labor Committee, after a campaign in which he repeatedly criticized the Republican Party&#039;s policies on school funding and student aid. . . .&lt;br /&gt;
Courtney&#039;s position on the education committee will put him in the midst of a brewing debate over the proposed reauthorization of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, he said Tuesday in an interview in his office on Capitol Hill. . . .&lt;/p&gt;
