Announcing My Candidacy for WCSD District D

Dear Washoe County residents and fellow advocates for quality education,

I am thrilled to announce that I have officially filed my candidacy for the Washoe County School District (WCSD) Trustee position in District D. Our schools are the heart of our community, and it’s time for a fresh perspective and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Here’s why I’m running:

1. Elevating Our Schools: Our schools deserve better than the status quo. We’ve seen an alarming rise in school violence, and graduation rates have hit an all-time low. As your trustee, I will work tirelessly to create safer, more nurturing environments for our students.
2. Financial Priorities: It’s puzzling that educational programs often face budget constraints, while administrative roles multiply and legal battles drain resources. Let’s shift the focus back to what matters most: our students’ education. I pledge to advocate for smart financial decisions that prioritize learning outcomes.
3. Teacher Retention and Recruitment: Our dedicated educators are the backbone of our schools. Yet, we’re witnessing a concerning trend of teachers leaving the profession. I will champion policies that support our teachers, ensuring they have the resources and encouragement they need to thrive.
4. Supporting Vulnerable Students: Every student deserves equal access to a quality education. Our most vulnerable students—whether due to socioeconomic factors, language barriers, or special needs—must receive the support they are legally entitled to. No child should fall through the cracks.
5. Transparency and Accountability: The WCSD must be transparent about its successes and challenges. As your trustee, I will hold the district accountable for its actions, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interest of our students and families.
6. Non-Partisan Leadership: Education transcends politics. I am committed to serving as an independent voice, free from party affiliations. Our students’ futures should unite us, not divide us.

Your Support Matters: In the upcoming primary elections, I humbly ask for your vote. Together, we can transform our schools into vibrant centers of learning, innovation, and opportunity. Let’s make education the cornerstone of our community’s success. 

Thank you for believing in a brighter future for WCSD. Let’s build it together! For more information, visit my website www.votejoshcole.com.
