DAVE LOVES LCS
You clicked that sign because you know the truth: Lynchburg City Schools are currently struggling with chronic absenteeism, administrative bloat, and a reliance on screens over skills. But Dave Henderson remembers when LCS was the envy of not just our community, but all of Virginia. As a community member, a business owner, and an LCS parent, Dave isn't interested in pointing fingers at the past. He is interested in executing a structural turnaround for the future. We don't need more political theater; we need a blueprint.
LCS used to be the gold standard of Virginia
IWe don’t have to settle for "managing the decline." It's time for an executive approach to public education that puts teachers, trades, and students first.

Dave’s Blueprint for LCS
-
We are replacing passive scrolling with active building. Dave will champion the expansion of Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways—connecting high schoolers directly with local businesses so they graduate ready for high-paying local jobs, not just a mountain of college debt.
-
Device addiction is destroying student mental health and academic focus. Dave supports a common-sense, community-backed initiative to heavily restrict smartphone and tablet use in our schools, getting kids back to the basics of focused learning.
-
An executive manages a budget by funding the front lines. Dave will fight to ensure your tax dollars are going directly to teacher compensation and classroom resources, auditing the budget to trim administrative overhead downtown.
