Taxes / Budget The Berkeley County School District has a budget of 369 million. Taxpayers and parents have the right to know how that money is spent. We need as much money as possible to end up in the classroom where it belongs. Education Not every child will earn a four-year college degree, and we need to ensure those children have access to proper education while in school. We need to expand partnerships with local stakeholders to provide an educational pathway so all students can succeed. Education We deserve to know what is happening in our schools, from the budget to the curriculum. I will ensure that every parent can engage in their child's education. Parents know what is best for their children and deserve to know what they are taught.
