Welcome to the Christine Moore Curtis Campaign
for Orange County School Board District 7
Dear Orange County Voter,
I decided to run for School Board in December after our current school board member filed to run for tax collector. My dear friend, Senator Dan Webster asked why I would want to do such a thing and wondered if he could talk me out of it. I told him no, I'd thought and prayed about it long and hard. I believe I have the passion and the determination to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children. Sometimes life deals unfair and difficult situations. It is in these times of overcoming challenges and difficulty that our character is molded.
I am a mother of school age children, a music teacher, a manager of several residential properties and a public relations consultant. I understand the concerns of teachers, students and the business community. I would like the opportunity serve as your school board member from District 7 which includes: Apopka, Ocoee, Clarcona, Winter Garden and Oakland.
Once elected to the school board I plan to present a Hundred Day Plan. In a nutshell, this plan will outline strategies to bring additional fiscal expertise to the school district, repair relationships with current elected officials and business leaders and utilize technology in greater ways to solicit the opinions of all our partners in education.
Our children and teachers have accomplished much in the past few years. We must continue to expand participation in community college dual enrollment programs, AP courses, pre-AP and honors classes. With regard to our under performing schools we must be open to new ideas and mentoring programs. There are several schools that serve as shining lights – these principals and teachers are incredible resources to guide other schools toward success. I would be remiss if I did not also mention the importance of our technical, charter and online schools. I believe the future is bright if we learn to respect, trust and work for the betterment of every child.
I will demand performance, reward accomplishment and refuse to accept failure in our Orange County Schools. Finally, I will value your opinion. Please contact me at any time to discuss your concerns. (407)880-4455.
On Tuesday, August 26th I would appreciate your vote for the Orange County School Board, District 7.
Sincerely,
Christine Moore Curtis
