This may piss off plenty of the local establements politicians in Lee County, Fl. And I'm fine with that. thats the point guys. For years our seen our school district bureaucrats play too much politics with no results. I saw the rot and decay of many up close and personal career politicians who talk tough when on the decis or in Tallahassee , then fold like chairs when we need them the most. They protect themselves, their donors not us

I'm in this fight all the way- and hope you are too. QUESTION? I ASK MANY ? HOW ARE YOU PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN ? This campaign is grassroots efforts and not no personal agenda or rhetoric that makes no sense . I'm bringing real classroom experience, community involvement and what the people want.

Carl's 3 ABC'S
Courage Commitment Credibility
Total Parent Inclusion
Total Parent Inclusion empowers parents to engage in children's education. By fostering partnerships among parents, educators, and the community, we create an inclusive environment that meets every child's needs. Our mission is to ensure parents feel valued and supported in shaping their child's learning journey. Together, we can build a brighter future through collaboration.
Safe & Supportive Schools
Championing safety, mental health programs, and a respectful learning climate so teachers and students can succeed.
Fiscal Responsibility
Ensuring that every tax dollar is spent wisely on what matters most—inspiring classrooms and modern facilities.
Equity & Inclusion
Despite removing the DEI office in 2025, achievement and discipline gaps persist. Carl will reestablish equity initiatives, measure progress transparently, and hold regular listening sessions to ensure every voice is heard.
Community Collaboration
Lee County’s stated goal is to become Florida’s #1 school district, but most schools aren’t there yet. Carl will form regional parent-teacher advisory councils and publish an annual “Community Accountability Scorecard.”
Rebuild Nutritional Focus
Good nutrition plays a crucial role in improving kids' focus and concentration. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals, helps fuel the brain, supporting cognitive function and memory. Healthy snacks, like fruits, nuts, and whole grains, provide steady energy throughout the day, reducing distractions and helping children stay engaged in school and other activities. When kids receive the right nutrients, their attention span and ability to focus increase, setting the stage for better academic performance and overall well-being.
