Danny Anthony Everett responds: I have a vision for world-class education in Lexington.

I am thankful for the Herald-Leader Editorial Board commending my “willingness to step forward” as a school board candidate. I do “care for our public schools!” I have the program and policy experience needed to make a difference. I hope to serve our community as the next Fayette County Public Schools District 3 board member.

As a volunteer for FCPS, my vision has always been about World-Class Education. That includes early childhood engagement for Pre-K children. It includes equitable schools for our diverse, non-white majority student population. If elected, I commit to improved communications, strategic policies to move the district forward, and accountability that questions and seeks solutions for all FCPS constituents.

Unfortunately, the editorial board doesn’t get it. Regardless of our community’s desire for progress, the editorial board desires for FCPS to remain the same. Lexington is growing. FCPS is growing. What has not worked in previous years will never work going forward. Our students deserve better.

As a professor with a research background in educational leadership and experiences volunteering in FCPS and three other school districts, I get it! KEPAC, C-Fair, AFL/CIO, and the Teamsters endorsed me. They get it! Our incumbent District 3 board member, Jason Moore, endorsed me. Jason Moore gets it!

I ask for your support to become the next FCPS District 3 Board Member! If you believe in world-class education for ALL students, vote for Danny Anthony Everett on Nov. 5, 2024. I Get It! DAEfor3.com.

Danny Anthony Everett is a candidate for the Fayette County Board of Education’s District. 3.
