Derek has the support of an overwhelming majority of the current Board Members because — just like he was for our city — we know that he will be a champion for our school system and will work to attract and retain the students of tomorrow. With Derek Dobies, we know Jackson Public Schools will have an effective leader who can work with parents, listen to our teachers, and always put the interest of our students first.

Derek has worked hard to bring attention to issues of equity and stands up for those who have lacked a voice for too long. That’s why he has my support.
