CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Kacie Bryant has announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination to the Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board in District 2.
Bryant, founder of Local Clarksville and The Business Project, graduated from Mississippi State University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. She realized her passion for helping others find purpose and pursue their passion through her own fitness business, she said. After selling the gym in 2015 with over 60 part-time employees, she has been involved in many business ventures and has helped several start-ups from the ground up.
A mother of two, wife and active community leader, Bryant said she hopes to bring a unique perspective to the School Board. “As a business owner and advocate for small enterprises, I understand the importance of fostering a supportive environment for education,” she said. “I will prioritize traditional values and, most importantly, stand with parents to get active in the decision making process.
“As a concerned parent and a proud conservative, I am driven by a deep commitment to the future of our community and the well-being of our children. Navigating the journey of parenthood has allowed me to witness firsthand the critical role that education plays in shaping the lives of our youth. Today, I stand before you as a candidate for the School Board, driven by a passion to safeguard the values we hold dear and ensure that our public schools are headed in the right direction.
“Our public school system is at a crossroads, and the decisions we make today will have a profound impact on the future,” Bryant said.
“Our children are in trouble. Social media, screen time and unsupervised internet access is slowly killing the spirit within our beautiful babies. Creativity, critical thinking and problem solving is being replaced by addiction and mindless entertainment,” she said. “As parents, we need to make it a priority to get involved, pay attention and no longer be complicit. We must be aware of the books they are reading and the curriculum they are being taught. I will advocate for policies that encourage and facilitate increased parental engagement so we can get back into the driver’s seat of our children’s education. Getting involved fosters accountability and transparency between the school district, teachers, parents and children.”
