Meet the Candidates
Town Talk: A conversation with Antoinette Funk, a candidate for Warren County School Board, Happy Creek District
In this Meet the Candidates session, our publisher Mike McCool speaks Antoinette D Funk, an independent candidate for the Warren County School Board, Happy Creek District.
Antoinette says she is running on a platform seeking integrity, accountability, and transparency in our county schools, and will work diligently to serve the students and their families. Supporting students first also means recognizing the professional and service staff and their needs for the vital jobs they take on each day.
She has lived in Warren County for 22 years with her husband Dennis, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Shepherd University, a Masters in Administration & Supervision from the University of Virginia, and a Doctor of Education in Administrative Leadership from Shenandoah University.
Most notably, she is the mother of two boys, Ethan and Noah. She is a passionate special needs advocate – knowing first-hand the importance of early intervention, education, and activism as a mother to a child with special needs. As an educator, she understands the impact of learning and the distinct needs that are imperative for preparing students for a global, diverse, and challenging world.
