STRONG AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

• All children in Atlanta deserve safe schools and great teachers. 
• I will continue to fight for our District 2 schools to have access to our equitable share of resources.  It is not acceptable for a child’s address to dictate the quality of their education.

CHILDREN AND TEACHERS FIRST

• I promise to continue to be an effective advocate and have the courage to always choose families and teachers over politics.
• Over 80% of our children are not on grade level for reading and math.  There is a 59% performance gap between our white and black students. APS must do better and educate ALL of our children. 

DIRECT AND FREQUENT COMMUNICATION

• I am committed to increasing parent and community participation. 
• I will continue to ensure the community voice is heard and valued by our principals and the APS Superintendent.  I promise to remain accessible through school visits, office hours held around the district, and neighborhood meetings.
