Candidate's Statement

I am Joe Williams and I am running for the District 2 seat on the Charlotte County School Board. I have lived in Charlotte County for over 20 years. I am a small business owner, home owner and happily married father of 5 children. My professional background is in sales, marketing and management and I attended Barry University for Business Administration. For the last 17 years my children have attended Charlotte County Schools. My oldest now have children attending our schools and my youngest currently attends Punta Gorda Middle. It's fair to say that I will have a vested interest in our schools for many years to come. This is why I am running.  My opponent thinks things are better than ever with our schools. I would disagree. There are many areas that have been needing improvement for years. These things are not being addressed.  We currently have record spending and taxes.  Students that are allowed to fail and fall through the cracks. Policies that are in place that endanger the health, safety and education of our students. Graduation rates are manipulated through the use of curve grading and alternative schools such as the Academy. I have seen children that were failed and held back for the year and not one phone call from a concerned teacher. This is unacceptable. Communication between the schools and parents is sorely lacking. Our current administration does not want to talk about these uncomfortable problems, much less solve them. Their solution to improving our schools is to spend more money. I will take on these issues and make sure they are part of the discussion and make sure that solutions are found. We all want the best schools we can have. Until these problems are recognized, they will not be fixed. We owe it to our children, parents and taxpayers to resolve these problems. Over the course of my campaign I will be presenting these issues in more detail, as well as solutions and ideas that will put us on a better fiscal path and enhance student health, safety and education. Please take the time to visit my website and compare it to my opponent. You will find a lot more substance on mine and very little on hers. My opponent's biggest accomplishment in the last 4 years is to talk us into a tax increase and promptly spend it. It was falsely represented to our community in order to gain passage. She has been a rubber stamp of approval for our School Administration and it's false narrative. Do we need 5 rubber stamps on our School board, or is 4 enough?  I will not be a rubber stamp. Our school board needs to be more honest and accountable to the parents and taxpayers. I will make sure that they are. I ask for your support and your vote in my effort to make Charlotte County Schools the very best they can be..............................Joe Williams
