I hope that the worst is over for Clayton County. I am looking forward to reduced crime and an improved school system, among other things. An improved school system in my mind involves: (1) a board that functions in accordance to its rules and regulations, with our children's best interests at heart; (2) committed teachers who realize that they have a challenging position, but who have a heart and an earnest desire to teach our children and inspire them to become the very best that they can be; (3) diligent principals and staff members who pay close attention to detail to ensure that every child gets what he or she needs, and that all operations run as smoothly as possible; (4) loving parents that take responsibility for their children, teach them right from wrong, and reinforce the lessons that are being taught at school; and (5) hard working students who will obey the rules of the land, get a good education and aspire to make a difference in our ever-changing world.
We each have a ‘continuous' part in bringing healing to our community. Crime prevention and creating good schools are only the beginning.
As a Realtor®, my vision for the county also includes economic development (bringing new businesses into the community) and smart growth initiatives (revitalizing old neighborhoods, making existing commercial infrastructure attractive to businesses and residents, and creating desirable mixed-use developments with green space that create a sense of place).
If we work together, I believe that we can and will achieve great success. Please join me in ‘bringing healing to our community.'
