George prioritizes teacher pay in his run for Prince William school board

Joseph George, an Army veteran and Department of Defense employee, has announced his candidacy to run for the Neabsco District school board seat.

Lisa Bell currently holds the board seat.

Bell has not confirmed if she will be seeking re-election, but Diane Raulston has also announced her candidacy for the seat.

George worked as an intelligence analyst for the United States Army for ten years and holds a degree from Rutgers University. He currently works as a supervisory criminal investigative analyst for the United States Department of Defense.

In the community, George has been president and vice president of the PTO/PTA, as well as serving as chairperson for the Minnieville Elementary School’s Principal Advisory Council.

According to George, the community urged him to run for school board.

“I have been an active member of my local schools and after discussions with various parents, teachers, and facility, I have been encouraged to run for the School Board position. I was initially approached to run in 2011, but was not ready to make that commitment at the time. Now I am,” George said.

During his campaign, George wants to address reducing class sizes, teacher pay and business involvement with schools.

“[I want to] prevent our best and brightest teachers from leaving PWCS for higher paying positions at the surrounding Counties, either through training opportunities or other incentives,” said George.

George lives with his wife and three daughters in Woodbridge, who all go to Prince William County Public Schools.
