Curtis Campogni

Pinellas County Schools face big challenges, but two rise to the top: enrollment and consolidation, and teacher engagement and retention. Curtis Campogni shares where he stands, from recruiting families and strengthening communities to hearing, empowering and paying teachers, and the question that should guide every decision: How will this improve student success?

Tomorrow night, you’ll know something I don’t. Maybe I won the race for Pinellas County School Board District 3. Maybe we’re heading to November. Maybe this is where the campaign ends. Tonight, before the results can change how I remember any of it, I wanted to reflect on this campaign, the people who made it possible, and what happens next. Whatever the outcome, I already know one thing: **I’m proud of how we got here.**

Some of the greatest expertise on serving our highest-need students isn't found in a board packet. It's found around kitchen tables where parents navigate complex systems every day. In this edition of Where I Stand, I introduce P.L.A.N.T., a proposal to create a monthly Parent Advisory Roundtable that ensures families with lived experience have a voice in shaping the questions, partnerships, and priorities I bring to the Pinellas County School Board.
