Contributed commentary from the Clarksville-Montgomery County Education Association:
CMCEA endorses Kent Griffy (for Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board, District 4) because he promises to be a voice for the parents, community and teachers. He is not afraid to stand up for the needs of the students in order to make CMCSS nationally recognized. He believes that employees must feel needed and wanted in order to fulfill his goal of consistent employee retention. Kent Griffy sent his children to CMCSS schools in the district in which he strives to serve.
Stefi Outlaw, CMCEA Political Action Committee chairperson
In the 4th District, that means supporting a strong candidate who will truly fight for everyone, someone who is determined, and someone who can handle the pressure.
Kent has the experience to look at education issues and weigh the circumstances carefully before making well informed decisions. Kent is a leader when it comes to finding solutions to difficult problems. He earned respect as a vocal member of the Board in the past, and is well regarded throughout his community, and that’s why I know he’ll be a strong voice on the Board when it comes to fighting for students, staff and families.
Constance Brown, CMCEA President
