A PROVEN EDUCATIONAL LEADER

Hello, my name is Tom Harrell,

and I am running for School Board District 5. Many of you will remember me from my days as a teacher at Ransom Middle School, principal at Escambia Westgate School, and principal at R. C. Lipscomb Elementary. I have had the opportunity to teach and administer schools that put me in a position to impact the lives of thousands of students. I love being a teacher and school administrator. During the coming weeks, I hope to get to know as many District 5 voters as possible. Also, I hope you will get to know me and where I stand on the issues. Those who already know me will tell you that I have one guiding principle – CHILDREN FIRST IN ALL DECISIONS.

Listening to the voice of voters, parents,
and teachers: I will …

  • Always put children first in the decision-making process.
  • Be a positive and proactive member of the School Board. I will listen to the community’s concerns and make sure your voice in District 5 is heard.
  • Work with the superintendent and other board members to provide the resources necessary to improve our students’ test scores.
  • Not vote to raise your taxes.
