Platform & Priorities
What Brian Stands For
Four clear priorities for Richland County School District One — grounded in experience, guided by community, and focused on students.
Student Success
Every decision must begin with one question: How will this help our students succeed?
I will support efforts that strengthen academic achievement, prepare students for college, careers, and life, and ensure every child has access to the resources and opportunities they need.
- Strengthen academic achievement across all Richland One schools
- Prepare students for college, careers, and life beyond graduation
- Ensure every child has access to the resources they need to succeed
- Keep student outcomes at the center of every board decision
Retaining and Supporting Great Teachers
Great schools require great teachers.
We must listen to our educators, provide the resources they need, recognize their value, and create an environment where talented teachers want to remain in Richland One.
- Listen to educators and respond to their needs
- Provide teachers with the tools and resources they need to excel
- Recognize and celebrate the value teachers bring to our community
- Create an environment where talented teachers want to stay in Richland One
Safe and Inclusive Schools
Every student, teacher, and staff member deserves to feel safe, respected, supported, and valued.
Our schools should be welcoming places where students can learn without fear and where every child knows they belong.
- Ensure every student and staff member feels safe and respected
- Build welcoming school environments where every child belongs
- Support mental health resources and student well-being
- Foster a culture of inclusion across all Richland One schools
Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability
The community deserves transparency and confidence in how district resources are managed.
I will support responsible spending, clear accountability, and decisions that place students, classrooms, and educational outcomes first.
- Support responsible, transparent spending of district resources
- Hold the district accountable for how funds are used
- Prioritize students, classrooms, and educational outcomes in every budget decision
- Build community confidence through openness and accountability
"At the heart of my service is a simple principle: treat others the way you would want to be treated. Leadership requires listening, showing up, being accountable, and making decisions with the best interests of students, families, educators, and the community at the forefront."
