My Platform

Radical Transparency & Accountability

My highest priority as a board member is building trust.

I will advocate for policies that move BCSD toward an “open-by-default” culture—where financial transactions, contracts, bids, calendars, and other public records are easier to access, more searchable, and shared in modern, machine-readable formats. I believe transparency can be achieved affordably using open-source tools, automation, and community volunteers.

Radical Transparency & Accountability

Restoring Trust Through Openness, Clarity, and Data-Driven Oversight Public trust is the foundation of any school system, and transparency is the path to rebuilding it. As a member of the Bibb County Board of Education, I will prioritize policies that make our district more open, more accessible, and more accountable

Clear, Consistent Communication With Families

Parents should never feel lost in the system.

I will push for district-level policies that strengthen communication—such as ensuring families have a clearly identified point of contact and that inquiries are tracked so they don’t fall through the cracks. I believe new families deserve a smoother onboarding experience, and I’ll support initiatives that make navigating the district simpler and more predictable.

Clear, Consistent Communication With Families

Ensuring Every Parent Knows Where to Turn — and What to Expect When families struggle to get clear answers from the school system, everything becomes harder: enrollment, transportation, scheduling, discipline, special education, and everyday questions about their child’s experience. Good communication is not just courtesy, it directly impacts student success.

Extracurriculars & Community Engagement

Strong schools are built with strong community partnerships.

I will champion policies that expand opportunities for students by encouraging volunteerism, strengthening partnerships with civic groups, and increasing awareness of clubs, activities, and youth organizations. Many people in our community want to support our students—they just don’t know how. I want BCSD to be intentional about connecting those dots.

Extracurriculars & Community Engagement

Expanding Opportunities, Strengthening Communities, and Supporting Student Growth When students are connected to meaningful activities — clubs, sports, arts, service organizations, competitions, and mentoring programs — everything improves. Attendance, behavior, confidence, and academic performance all rise. Extracurriculars are not “extra.” They are essential. As a board member, I will advocate for policies

How I Approach Every Other Issue

Steady, thoughtful, and student-centered.

While these three issues are my primary focus, I will approach all topics with the same principles: responsible budgeting, preference for lower property taxes when possible, avoiding abrupt policy shifts that disrupt families, prioritizing real safety over “security theater,” ensuring volunteer processes are practical, and continually reviewing whether central office resources best support classrooms. I believe in celebrating our successes while being honest about areas where we must improve.
