Contest Arkadelphia School Board Ward 6
In the past, our board has worked together to support students and teachers and communicate well with the public. With the recent focus on building a new high school--however much it is needed--and the unexplained postponing of board elections, I think we have lost some of that clear communication and transparency. I'd like to see it return.
Our schools face challenges from the enormous budget draw created by school vouchers in the state. We need to make sure quality public schools remain our priority. While large amounts are being spent to build new facilities--which are certainly needed--we need to focus on quality education for all students. Recent lawsuits, although not successful, point out negative public perceptions of a fair education for all. My three children received a wonderful education from Arkadelphia public schools and all graduated college with the Arkadelphia Promise scholarship. From years of volunteering in the schools, my wife Kathy and I know we have quality teachers. We need to support them and support extracurricular activities to keep our schools great.
