You AIN'T all that unless you think you have "the right stuff" to earn a coveted Captain Kirk Thumbs-up Distinction. As we all know, sometimes we must divert our flight path. Last night was different, and the sharp young lady speaker earned the highly coveted Captain Kirk Thumbs-up Distinction Award. #teamcaptainkirkphillips diverted to Pasco Watch, a small group of passionate voices, to listen to a young great American speak about one of the largest K-12 school districts in our Great America. Please take 35 seconds to read this blurb about this superstar. Mrs. Jessica Wright for Pasco County School Board is a fantastic choice for the fights our school systems are facing. The Captain didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday and knows about fights, battles, and wars. Our schools and learning institutions are grappling with tough obstacles in these challenging times, from shifting economic realities to a transient student population and those resistant to change. However, last night, we heard a passionate and highly intelligent speaker at Pasco Watch focused on putting students first. This urgency underscores the need for a leader like Jessica Wright. Jessica Wright understands that the individual needs of each learner must be the top priority. She is committed to optimizing resources and navigating the mountains of federal, state, and local policies and legal constraints that tie the hands of our educators. We should all applaud individuals like Jessica, willing to step up and fight for our children's education. She has the knowledge, experience, and unwavering dedication to make the difficult decisions to move our schools forward. Jessica Wright is not just a candidate; she is a remarkable choice for our school system in any capacity. Our school systems need professionals with visions like Jessica’s for student-centric learning and operational efficiency. Your role in this election is crucial. I urge you to prioritize finding the time to listen to what Jessica Wright has to offer.
