About dody stottlemyer

Dody Stottlemyer has lived in VA for 40 years, residing in the Shawnee district for the last 23 years. She and her husband Mike have been married for 16 years and are strong believers in our God given Constitutional rights. 

Dody is the right person to elect for the Shawnee School Board seat. She knows the people of the Shawnee community well, living and working here locally for decades. She has been participating for many years in the local school and government meetings, and has been very involved in community engagement and service. This included a run for the Shawnee School Board seat in 2017, and most recently has been serving on local County and FCPS committees.

As the Shawnee School Board representative Dody would like see these items given more focus within the school system: 

• Expand vocational training and local industry partnership opportunities for students who wish to learn skilled trades.
• Improve instructional programs for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to support future careers like cybersecurity and data driven industries.
• Support staff training to ensure clear expectations and effective instruction.
• Ensure responsible spending on facility maintenance, upkeep, and new construction.
• Support effective classroom discipline allowing students to learn without distraction, thus protecting our teachers and children.

Dody brings to the table a private sector work history, where her common sense approach understands the need for a             measurable rate of return, especially in the public school arena. We must give our kids the foundational skills they 

need to compete successfully in the future. The time for better education is now!!
