Candidate Spotlight: Bonnie Ennis for Wicomico County Board of Education At-Large

Bonnie Ennis is running for Wicomico County Board of Education at-large. She has been an educator for a total of 44 years in the school system. Since 2015, she’s been Supervisor of School Improvement, Accountability, & Strategic Planning.

How have our schools performed on her watch since she began as Supervisor of School Improvement, Accountability, & Strategic Planning? The bottom line: Our schools have not improved to date, and it’s not to blame on the pandemic. There has been no accountability and her strategic planning has been ineffective. Remaining below the state average, schools have remained stagnant under her supervision, having a 34% Math Proficiency and 39% Reading Proficiency leading up to the pandemic. It’s evidently worse today, while the school has prevented the dissemination of school performance data since 2020 as to not look so bad. Students are being pushed through classes and graduating to be passed off like hot potatoes, without achieving a required level of academic proficiency.

How can an administrator with the title Supervisor of School Improvement, Accountability, & Strategic Planning allow our schools to perform so poorly? Sadly, it’s political. Because Ennis is a Progressivist Educator, our students won’t improve. Why? Progressive Teaching delivers Common Core paired with political agendas and ideologies through Social Emotional Learning. This attempts to make school interesting by focusing curriculum centered on feelings, interactions, social emotions and perceptions of the students – not upon absolutes. Having been a math teacher up until 2015, she should know better. Under Common Core, 2+2 can equal 5, for as long as a student can explain why they feel 5 is the correct answer. That’s impossible, as math is absolute. It is incomprehensible as to why Ennis would cater to this and expect results by maintaining the status quo of underperformance and non-achievement in exchange for a paycheck.

Aren’t BOE Seats “Non-Partisan?”

  1. Thanks for more influential information….
    Registered Republican backed by a Democrat organization…..

    Tells me what I need to know!

  2. Why are you beating up on Bonnie Ennis. She and her family are very respected in he community and have a history of community service.

    1. There’s a difference between ‘beating up’ and exposing their underlying reality for our children.

      Service is generally positive in nature – this would NOT be!

  3. The Supervisor of School Improvement, Accountability, & Strategic Planning is evidently a job that an empty pants suit could do, based on the nothing that seems to have been accomplished under her watch.

  4. Watchguards is a phony page brought to you by no other then Darren Lombardo, and I suspect most of the comments are from their group.
