Special Needs & Medically ​Fragile Children

Seminole County has known issues ​with how they care for and treat ​Special Needs & Medically Fragile ​Children. Having firsthand experience ​with this, David intends to work closely ​with the School District to implement ​new policies and bring to light issues ​that he has experienced with one of ​his children so others won’t have to ​suffer in the future.

Programs & Activities

David appreciates the joy and ​fulfillment that extracurricular activities ​bring to students. Having participated ​in his high school Marching Band, he ​understands the significant impact ​these programs have on children's ​lives. David is committed to expanding ​these opportunities and securing ​additional funding, rather than cutting ​them.

Proper Use of Technology In ​the School Setting

With nearly a decade of experience in ​the technology field, David is well-​equipped to collaborate with ​Seminole County Schools' IT ​department to improve technology ​integration in the classroom. His goal is ​to enhance educational outcomes ​through effective technology use ​while reducing cell phone distractions ​during the school day.

Community & Parental ​Involvement in our Schools

Teacher & Support Staff Pay

David believes that schools cannot ​function without dedicated teachers ​and support staff. He feels that many ​current school board members ​prioritize cost-cutting measures over ​supporting their staff, often ​disregarding the impact these ​decisions have on both people and ​programs.

Accountability at ALL Levels ​of the School District
