We must stop managing the decline and start engineering a renaissance for our kids.

A true renaissance requires more than just political soundbites; it requires a structural blueprint. Below is an executive summary of Dave’s plan to restore the LCS gold standard. Because we believe in total transparency and data-driven governance, we aren't just making promises, we are showing our work! Click on any of the core policies below to dive into a comprehensive briefing, complete with the research, data, and local context that forms the foundation of our strategy.

School Board Accountability

Our schools are failing due to a lack of vision, and the School Board must lead a bold turnaround or step aside.

Early Gap Opportunity

Every child deserves a fair start; expanding Pre-K to every elementary school ensures our children are not left behind.

Collective Impact Model

It takes a village of community partners, not just the school system, to raise and support our children.

Paper First Literacy

Put the teacher back in the classroom; technology is a tool, not a tutor.

Invest in Teachers

Invest in our teachers from culture to compensation; they are the heart of our city's future.

Purpose over Punishment

Trade the suspension desk for community service to give our students a sense of purpose and pride.

Strengths Based Education

Stop focusing on what students can't do and start building on what they can.

Career & Technical Education

We must stop failing students who choose the workforce and connect every child with a professional pathway.

Town & Gown Partnership

Closing the gap between campus and classroom will build a stronger future for our students.
