Campaign themes

2016

Hollowell's campaign website included the following themes:

My campaign for the Fayette County School Board is based on three simple principles:
1) Our great teachers must have the resources they need to provide the highest quality education to every student;
2) Budget priority must be given to those activities that directly enhance student achievement; and
3) We cannot rest on past achievements, but must aggressively and continuously assess, adapt, and improve teaching and administrative practices in order to maintain the highest standards that Fayette County is known for and that its citizens expect.[2][4]
