As Kent County voters go to the polls next week to begin the process of electing new members of the county’s School Board of Education, the Spy has been reaching out to a few members of the current board for their take on current events and offer some insights.
Last week, we shared the impressions of current board member Wendy Costa, who will not be seeking reelection this fall. And this week, we talked to Francoise Sullivan, who is now in her second year of a four-year term.
In our interview, Francoise talks about plans for a new middle school, where it may be located, Kent County School test scores and their relevance, the fundamental role of a school board, and what advice she has for voters before the July 19 primary election.
This video is approximately ten minutes in length.

Excellent description of the functions of a Board of Education. Cogent and very helpful to parents and citizens. Kent County is fortunate to have her as one of the representatives on our Board.
Jenifer Emley says
Brava, Francoise! Thank you for your clarity and for your hard work on behalf of our children.
Janice Dickson says
How fortunate the County is to have Francoise Sullivan as a member of the Board of Education. I hope candidates running for office are as articulate and thoughtful as this woman.
Too bad the County Commissioners don’t show up as intelligent and serious. What a staggering difference.
Steven Arnold says
I’m continually impressed with Francoise as a thoughtful and conscientious supporter of education, our kids and our community. Her advocacy sets an example for everyone around her. Keep up the great work, Francoise!
