10/15/07 * Daily Progress [full story]
Of the four Albemarle School Board seats up for grabs this year, only the at-large slot is contested.
Patrick Wood, a county resident who graduated from Albemarle High School in 1985 and teaches fifth grade at Central Elementary in Fluvanna County, is challenging incumbent Brian Wheeler, the executive director of Charlottesville Tomorrow, who is seeking a second term on the board. ...
Wood said that he wants to bring an educator’s perspective to the board and help the division focus its attention on teachers and students. ...
Wood said that the main difference between him and Wheeler is the perspective from which they view school issues.
“He is a blogger who looks at everything from an interpretive and theoretical standpoint, based on what he has read,” Wood said. “I look at things based on my experience in the classroom.”
Brian "The Blogger" Wheeler
