Why I’m Running -
Hi, I'm Lisa Kessler, and I'm running for the St. Lucie County School Board because our students deserve leadership that is focused, forward-thinking, and fully committed to their success.
I believe in:
- Strong academic standards in reading, math, science, and career readiness
- Supporting and retaining excellent teachers
- Respecting parents as partners
- Transparent budgeting that protects taxpayers
- Keeping politics out of our classrooms
For twenty years, we’ve had the same voice at the table. I believe it’s time for fresh leadership that listens, collaborates, and puts students ahead of politics.
I’m the daughter of two lifelong public school teachers. I grew up understanding that teachers are the backbone of strong communities. When teachers feel supported, students thrive. When classrooms are stable, families feel confident.
And right now, St. Lucie County is losing far too many good teachers.
We can do better.
As a small business owner and published author, I have served on multiple boards, both nationally and locally, and I bring extensive experience working collaboratively, listening to different perspectives, and finding common ground. But collaboration doesn't mean being quiet when something needs to change. I’m willing to be the squeaky wheel to keep important issues on the table, ask the tough questions, and continue negotiating until we find solutions that move our community forward.
Everyone deserves a voice at the table, and I’m ready to be a strong, thoughtful voice where every student, every family, and every educator is valued and heard. My goal is to bring people together, find common ground where we can, and keep working toward delivering a better future for our St. Lucie County Public Schools.
As the child of life-long public school teachers, I understand how much this work matters.
Every student should have access to a safe, high-quality education that prepares them for the future.
It’s time for fresh leadership.
