Letter to the Editor: Support Raaheela Ahmed for School Board

The Reform Sasscer Movement throws their support behind the 19-year-old candidate for the District 5 Board of Education seat.

Dear Bowie Residents,

We, the undersigned, who serve to transform the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) as your non-partisan and concerned citizen leaders of the wide Prince George’s County community which includes the city of Bowie are all enthusiastically supporting Ms. Raheela Ahmed, for the upcoming non-partisan School Board Election in District 5 serving the Bowie area.

As you know, our school system has many challenges facing it in the near term; the hiring of a new school superintendent, shrinking resources from our state government and recruitment/retention of the best and brightest teachers to instruct our children. Ms. Ahmed, who is a past student of PGCPS and currently a honor roll student at the University of Maryland is untainted by corruption.

To change things in Prince George’s County Public schools, we must elect the right leadership of Ms. Ahmed and reject the other side.  

We have each interviewed Ms. Ahmed and she has assured us that she will work very hard to create transparency and accountability within the school system. Ms. Ahmed will serve as a role model for our children and County by showing that hard work and doing the right things in life has its rewards. She will be a great example of the youth leadership and transformation.
