Campaign themes

For his campaign, Elmore stated the following on his website as his platform:[3]

  • If I am elected, I pledge to put student education first. Providing an educational opportunity that places students in a position to succeed is the school system's first priority.
  • Whether it be learning to read, training for a vocation, or preparing for college, providing an appropriate instructional environment for all students is the bedrock of a strong school system.
  • It takes skilled teachers and committed staff to create, or enhance, a culture for learning in a school. I will work to support those willing to work at creating and continuously improving that culture.
  • I will offer my experience at analyzing key elements of a given situation and assessing alternatives to help the school system refine and improve its plans to become an even stronger school system.
  • I will work to bring additional improvements to our school system by working in partnership with the Community, School Board Members, and School Division Staff.
