Republican Charlotte Meadows is seeking the Republican nomination for State Board of Education, District 3.
“Education in Alabama is my driving passion. For too long we have suffered at the bottom of national rankings,” Meadows said. “What we have been doing the last 30 years has not worked. It is time for a new direction on the State Board of Education, and I will put a direct focus on academic achievement at every meeting.”
Charlotte Meadows is a former representative in the Alabama Legislature and former member of the Montgomery Public Schools Board of Education. She currently serves as the board chair of LEAD Academy, a public charter school.
Meadows has extensive ties from all over District 3. She represented the Montgomery portion for three years, was raised in Montgomery, spent summers growing up in Elmore County, and now lives in Shelby County.
“It is more important than ever that parents have a say in their children’s education,” Meadows added. “The woke indoctrination of our society is very dangerous, and we need vigilant warriors protecting what our children are being exposed to in our schools and libraries.”
“I have the experience and a real passion to improve Alabama’s education. I also know how to communicate with our legislators who fund our schools. We need to ensure that all kids have the tools they need to succeed in life,” Meadows concluded. “Changing the focus on the State Board of Education will be the first step to improving our state’s education crisis.”
Meadows, who recently attended the Coosa County Board of Education meeting, stated that part of her role would be to be a liaison between the local school boards and the policies that are implemented at the state level.
Charlotte Meadows is married to Dr. Allen Meadows and is a mother of three and grandmother of three.
The district includes all of Bibb, Chilton, Coosa, Elmore, and Shelby counties, as well as the southern portion of Jefferson County and portions of Montgomery and Talladega counties.
The Republican Primary will be held March 5. Meadows’ campaign can be reached at www.charlottemeadows.org.
