Campaign themes

2014

In response to a survey published by WLKY, Brown answered several questions outlining his campaign themes and vision.

“ List 3 reasons voters should elect you:

I have a financial and labor relations background, maintain a vested interest in the success of our schools, and will make "Students First" the theme for my tenure on the board.

What are the most important issues facing JCPS?

In short:

  • Students First! Needs assessment; no more excuses
  • Safe and orderly behavior in schools and buses
  • Accountability (board, teachers, students, parents)
  • Financial Literacy to empower future 401(k) earners
  • Review relationship with JCTA to end any perceived conflicts of interest

What is your vision for education in this community?

High performing schools will help attract high paying jobs to our community and commonwealth. The Kentucky Educational Reform Act was passed 25 years ago. It's time to stop bragging about KERA, and implement a school system that meets the needs of our children in a global economy today, and 25 years from now: 2040.[4]
