Center Community Voice In Decision Making
Montgomery County Public Schools work best when families, educators, and community members are active partners in decision-making. As a candidate for the Montgomery County Board of Education, Wylea Chase is committed to strengthening communication, transparency, and meaningful engagement.
My philosophy is simple: nothing for us without us.
Wylea’s Work
Let’s move beyond listening to Action. I want every detail to support success. I believe in shared ownership; this needs to come with educating the community. I will make inclusion practical, removing barriers to participation. I will activate dialogue through parent and community engagement, include diverse voices and builds trust across our county.
My leadership spans grassroots organizing and institutional change.
I have served as Gaithersburg Cluster Coordinator, currently serve as MCCPTA DEI Committee Member, and NAACP Parent Council Representative, among other roles.
My Co- facilitation of Courageous Conversations and equity-centered trainings has helped schools, nonprofits, and corporations build inclusive cultures and amplify community voice.
Why This Matters for Families
Parents in Montgomery County want schools that are transparent, effective, and focused on student success.
These priorities reflect a commitment to practical solutions that deliver real results for students, educators, and the entire community.
