Tom Harris is running for the Franklin County School Board. Here’s what he’ll fight for:
Keep our schools safe
I understand how much it means to families to know their children are safe when they go to school each day. School safety is a top priority, and I will work tirelessly to ensure Franklin County schools remain secure, preventing tragedies and dangerous situations before they ever occur.
Parents' Voices Matter
As a school board member, I will take action to empower parents in the education process. I will ensure transparency in curriculum decisions and actively involve parents in shaping their children's educational experience. Your voice matters, and I will make sure it’s heard.
Focus on Education - Not POLITICS
The last few years have proven that radical agendas have infiltrated American classrooms. We must reject this indoctrination and return to teaching students math, science, history, language, civics, and health. Achieving academic excellence while preparing students for life beyond the classroom. Politics have no place in the classroom.
Improving Academic Achievement
I will prioritize initiatives that enhance student learning outcomes, such as investing in high-quality, proven curriculum, supporting teachers with pay and professional development, and promoting successful programs that close achievement gaps.
Fiscal responsibility
Managing the school district’s budget efficiently is crucial. As a school board member, I will focus on transparency and make sure taxpayer dollars are allocated toward programs and resources that directly benefit student achievement and school improvement, while cutting unnecessary and wasteful spending.
The current Franklin County School System is failing our children.
It’s time for a change! Take a look at the NC Schools Report to see for yourself.
