Why are you running? I want to help the school district get back to the prominence it once had.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? My top issue is state test scores. I would address it by investigating the reasons they are so low. Take an objective view of the issues and formulate a plan to make changes with those in power to make the changes.
Why should people vote for you? I am a life long Red Bud resident and I want Red Bud School District to be the best school system in the state. I have children in the district and have a vested interest to see improvement.
