From reader Shane Bruce, via email, who also provided the links below:

Libertarian Kira Willis has declared her Candidacy for State School Superintendent in the Great State of Georgia. She takes the field this fall with  Libertarian Candidate for Governor John Monds, Libertarian Candidate for US Senate Chuck Donovan and Libertarian Candidate David Chastain for Secretary of State to bring change to Georgia.

From SGWA Politics:

Kira Willis, a 17 year veteran classroom teacher from Roswell, has entered the State School Superintendent race and is seeking the nomination of the Libertarian Party of Georgia. Kira is running on what she calls the “ABCs of Education”: Accountability, Budget, and Community. As a classroom teacher, Kira knows that accountability cannot just mean more regulations on teachers and schools, but that each stakeholder in education should be held accountable for their own products. These stakeholders are students, parents, teachers, schools, and communities. From her website:

What was once a partnership between the school and home has become a disenfranchised blame game. Parents have been disregarded by the schools and the state as irrelevant to their children’s education. All parents have both a right and a responsibility to their children’s schooling. I can’t think of any parent who does not want his child to succeed. As State School Superintendent, I want to help mend the bridge between the school and the home. This means having parents accountable for their children coming to school ready to learn. It means that parents must help the school in teaching their young people.
