David for SLPS

I’m a 1991 alum of SLPS, father of 11 (3 current SLPS students and 5 SLPS alumni), retired Air Force Officer, and Realtor in the St. Louis area. Since returning to St. Louis, I’ve spent the majority of my time working with students and schools through PTO organizations and the district Parent Action Council. I have served on district committees to select new principals, improve communication, and evaluate current school start times. Most recently I was appointed as the initial parent representative to the Consortium Partnership Network (an effort to give failing schools flexibility in operations) and a part of the COVID-19 Restart Schools Task Force. I was also one of two parent representatives on the State Appointed Board task force on the future governance of our school district. It was during this experience, I realized that the best way to continue the work of improving the Saint Louis Public School District for our kids was to run for school board.
