Ever wondered what happens when actual competence crashes a school board party? Anne Horner of Region 7 is revolutionizing educational governance with an approach that puts results above rhetoric and students above systems.

Armed with an MBA, a Bachelor's in business management and marketing, and an Associate's in health information management, Horner isn't just academically qualified—she's strategically positioned to transform how school districts operate. What truly distinguishes her is her real-world perspective as a parent whose child navigated the district through Council Rock South and MBIT, giving her insights that theoretical administrators simply don't possess.

Her platform tackles education's most pressing challenges head-on: addressing the pandemic's learning loss with practical solutions, creating pathways to careers that don't necessarily require crushing student debt, and revitalizing core academics without boring students into disengagement. As co-chair at MBIT (Middle Bucks Institute of Technology), she's not just talking about alternative career paths—she's actively creating them. Perhaps most refreshingly, Horner has cross-filed on both Republican and Democratic ballots, signaling that education excellence transcends partisan politics.

When someone combines business acumen, personal investment in the system, and a commitment to transparency while dodging typical school board drama "like Neo in the Matrix," you've found a rare educational leader. Follow Anne Horner's transformative approach to see what's possible when school boards focus on solutions rather than sound bites. Ready to see what real educational leadership looks like? Team Horner is showing the way.

Peace, Love & God Above! :-)
