Serving on the Atlanta Board of Education has been the most impactful work of my life. Together, we’ve brought in strong leadership, built a thoughtful, data-informed strategic plan, and by year’s end will complete another facilities master plan. The foundation is solid and the groundwork is done. Now it’s time to pass the baton to fresh energy to carry this work forward and finish the race —

This work isn’t about one person. It’s teamwork, a relay, and I’m proud to pass the baton knowing the groundwork is done.

At this time, I’m not discussing endorsements. My priority remains on completing the work before me — there is still much to do before my term concludes, and I’m committed to finishing strong.
