CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Brad Morrow is running as the Republican candidate for Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board, District 5, in the upcoming election on Aug. 4.
The son of a teacher and a social worker, Morrow retired from the Army in 2017 after combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and various locations in Africa and other parts of the Middle East.
In addition to his work developing local small businesses, Morrow recently graduated with honors from Austin Peay State University for the second time, adding a Masters in Teaching (with a chemistry concentration) to his bachelor’s degree in public administration.
Morrow has been a member of the CMCSS Parent Advisory Council for six years, providing feedback from the public perspective to the director of schools and senior CMCSS staff. Morrow also serves on the board of advisers to the Academy for Academic Excellence, a small local school that specializes in providing educational opportunities for children with learning challenges.
Morrow said he will be a voice for parents as someone who can bridge the gaps among stakeholder perspectives and develop the kind of cooperation that provides the best outcomes for students.
“We have many challenges to address, including classroom discipline, transportation, overcrowding, learning loss from COVID, curriculum transparency, and giving greater value to parental input,” Morrow said. “Meeting these challenges will require hard work and creativity, but more than anything else, it will require cooperation and a partnership mentality among the members of the board, the CMCSS administration, and the County Commission, along with the parents and children we are all here to serve.”
Morrow and his wife, Anna, are the parents of four daughters ages 8 through 18 who attend three CMCSS schools. They worship at LifePoint Church.
School Board District 5 encompasses County Commission Districts 13, 14 and 17, and includes portions of the Kenwood, Northeast, Northwest, Rossview and West Creek zones.
