“I am committed and dedicated to being a new voice to the Floyd County Board of Education. As the parent of two children, I share many of the same beliefs and concerns as other Floyd County parents. I want all students to grow into well round adults. This starts inside and outside the classroom. I believe it will take a collaborative effort of the school board, schools, and parents to determine the role we take for the future of our children. I look forward to sharing my vision and values with the people of Floyd County. My campaign will represent the average students and parents that are the families which make up the Floyd County School System. I believe our community should work together to maximize all resources which will give our children a better tomorrow.”
