Elect Vickie B. Turner Dekalb County School Board District 5

provided a rigorous academic environment and creative strategies that engage the total child. I have worked closely with teachers, allowing them the autonomy as to what works best in their classrooms for their students. I have been a shoulder for parents to lean on when they have faced challenges with their children as it relates to their education, discipline and parenting skills. I have worked with community, political leaders, and civic organizations fostering a relationship that connects our students to a global community. As a mother, I know what parents want for their children: a safe classroom environment and a level academic playing field that will ensure a successful competitive edge in life. I am a Friend to Teachers, an Advocate for Students and a Voice for the Parents. I am looking forward to serving District 5 with integrity, passion and commitment.
