Andy Dance retains seat on Flagler County School Board
Current Flagler County School Board chairman, Andy Dance,
retained his seat on the Flagler County School Board by defeating Maria Barbosa
60%-40% in Tuesday's primary election.
From Flaglerlive.com:
With all votes counted, Andy Dance is the big winner in
School Board District 1, and incumbent Trevor Tucker barely survived against
Michael McElroy, a big surprise in a race Tucker was confident he could win
without much campaigning.
Andy Dance, the school board chairman, was the evening’s
biggest winner as he defeated Maria Barbosa with close to a 60 percent total.
“I just am very humbled again that the voters are entrusting
me with this responsibility and will continue to work on their behalf,” Dance
said, downplaying the margin of victory. “I don’t think it says anything. I
think people are familiar with my track record and my availability to be able
to meet them out in the public. So that probably contributes more to maybe the
percentage than anything else.”

Flagler should focus
on start-ups, not recruitment
Entrepreneurs need fast and friendly start-up processes. They
need locally owned, buy-American and veteran preferences to be honored in
government purchasing. They need help getting off the ground through access to
capital and mentoring. They need local governments who are ahead of the curve
on infrastructure like redundant power and connectivity. Finally, as they move
from sole proprietor to small business, they need employees who are willing to
go the extra mile to learn what they need to know to get the job done.
In Flagler, we have most of what we need. We have the Palm Coast
Business Assistance
Center and Entrepreneur
Night. We have a thriving school district and a college campus. We even have
entrepreneurs at the helm of several of our elected bodies, including Andy
Dance, Nate McLaughlin and Barbara Revels.Talented people that have organically created their own thing,
just so they can live here.
