REPRESENTING
district 5
Karitsa is currently serving in her third term on the Board as the District 5 Representative.
In my first and second terms, I have been a strong advocate for greater community engagement in schools; closing achievement gaps; more equitable and transparent budgeting decisions; fought for fair and balanced educational experiences to improve the urban schools in my district; and I have advocated for policies that attract and retain the most effective teachers for schools that need them most.
​
My platform remains consistent with those issues and now the following focus areas as I continue to work towards a more effective and efficient school system for all. These focus areas are:
ACTION
COMMITMENT
TRANSPARENCY
I pledge to my continual commitment
to these efforts as I advocate for:
Increased Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in all facets of the Hamilton County School system
Enhanced Whole Child/Whole Family Supports
Equitable Facilities and Capital Improvements
Safer School Environments
Expansion of exposure and access to college and career opportunities
