ABOUT DR. SHARON JEFFERSON
Strong Families + Strong Communities = Successful Students
Student success is not determined by a single factor. When we see differences in achievement among schools within the same district and students in the same school, we must ask deeper questions:
Why are some students thriving while others are struggling?
The answer lies in understanding the “why” behind student outcomes.
As a school board member, I will focus on addressing opportunity gaps, learning interruptions, and the root causes of student outcomes to make strategic investments that lead to long-term success for students and stronger communities.
I’m running for School Board because I’ve seen what works—and I know more is needed. As a 26-year educator and community leader, I’m committed to ensuring every child has the support they need to succeed—at home, in school, and in the community.
Strong Families + Strong Communities = Successful Students
