As a candidate for the Raytown School Board, I am driven by a deep passion for service, leadership, and the success of our students, families, and staff. My candidacy is rooted in a lifelong commitment to improving our community and ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education.
I am proud to have the endorsements of Freedom Incorporated and former Raytown Mayor David Bower, who share my vision for creating a stronger, more inclusive school district.
With a diverse professional background—including roles as a social worker, police officer, entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and community advocate—I bring a unique perspective and skill set to address the challenges facing our schools.
My mission is centered on fostering academic excellence, supporting educators, prioritizing equity, and restoring trust within the district. To achieve these goals, I believe in the power of collaboration among three key stakeholders: students, parents, and businesses.
Together, we can forge a balanced partnership that strengthens the Raytown School Board and builds a thriving community.
Every child deserves access to a high-quality education in a safe and inclusive environment. Teachers should be empowered to inspire with confidence. Families must feel engaged in their children’s education. Schools should serve as pillars of hope and opportunity for the entire community.
By fostering collaboration among students, parents, and businesses—the three essential cords of balance—we can create lasting change that benefits Raytown’s schools and community for generations to come.
With your support, I am committed to addressing these challenges head-on while building a brighter future for Raytown’s students, staff, families, and neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Edna
