The Page County School Board conducted public interviews with three candidates seeking the District 5 seat and then voted to move into a closed session under Section 2.2-3711 to discuss appointments and personnel matters.
Anna Maria Mendez, a District 5 candidate, opened by identifying herself as "Anna Maria Mendez" and describing a childhood and early life in Isabela, Puerto Rico and decades of experience as a military dependent and Navy spouse. She told the board she comes from a family with a history of public service and said she has run for office before. "I am originally from Isabela, Puerto Rico," Mendez said, and later added that she believes education should be "number 1" among government priorities because a strong education system prepares citizens for the future.
