My reason for running again for the School Board- As a resident of Clay County, I want to see the impending growth managed in a manner that attracts and fosters quality of life for all our community.  Imperative to that is a school system that provides the best possible educational experience for our families. As a parent of a graduate of this system, I have first-hand knowledge of the success a child can achieve in the Clay County District, and the preparation it gives students in their future endeavors

I felt with my professional background, that I could bring a fresh set of eyes for Clay’s School District.  My business background gives me an understanding of budgeting and management within budgets, while my experience as a Realtor gives me knowledge of our growing community and negotiating skills.

Along with safety and security, I believe great schools should be the #1 priority of any community.  For those who children are grown and no longer in the school system, you want a county with excellent schools to attract solid families and values.
