I'm Carrie Donovan, and I'm running for the Jefferson County Board of Education to ensure every student has access to safe, supportive, and high-quality public schools.
For more than 20 years, I have dedicated my career to public education- as a classroom teacher, literacy specialist, instructional coach, and advocate for students and educators. I have worked alongside families, teachers and school leaders to help students success, and I understand both the opportunities and the challenges facing our schools.
I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, communicates openly, and makes decisions with students at the center. Together, we can strengthen our schools by building trust, supporting educators, partnering with families, and creating learning environments where every child can thrive.
I am asking for your support as we work together to build a stronger future for District 5 and for every student in Jefferson County.
Serving on the JCBE is a responsibility I do not take lightly. My commitment is to lead with integrity, listen with intention, and make decisions that put students at the center of every discussion.
I beleive trust is earned through transparency, collaboration, and consistent communication. As your representative, I will work to ensure families, educators, students and community members have a voice in the decisions that share our schools.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe, supportive environment where they can thrive. Every educator deserves to feel valued and supported. Every family deserves a school system that listens, responds, and works in partnership with the community.
These commitments are reflected in the three principles that will guide my service: Building Trust. Supporting Learning. Strengthening Schools.
Togehter, we can create a stronger future for District 5 and for every student in Jefferson County.
