Our Vision

Priorities for Pinellas Schools

Building on our A-rated success and putting students First

Student Success

Putting students first by prioritizing student success. We must prepare our students for success by giving them the knowledge of the past along with the skills of the future.

Parental Involvement

Putting students first by prioritizing parental involvement. We must give parents full transparency to enable them to make meaningful decisions for their children and their education.

Fiscal Responsibility

Putting students first by making effective and efficient use of each tax dollar given to the School District. We must prioritize spending in the classroom not on the bureaucracy.

Nancy Bostock Announces Campaign for Pinellas County School Board

Stephanie Meyer Endorses Nancy Bostock

Treasure Island, FL – Former County Commissioner and School Board member Nancy Bostock announced her campaign for the Pinellas County School Board and a key endorsement from outgoing School Board Member Stephanie Meyer. Nancy will focus on driving student success, ensuring that Pinellas County Schools empower parents and students to attain the best possible education.

"Pinellas County Schools have made solid gains in recent years, earning an A-rating for the first time, but we face several critical challenges. Runaway inflation has increased the cost of everything in our day-to-day lives, and our schools aren't immune. Housing affordability, demographic shifts, and rising costs negatively impact our schools, our teachers, our families and ultimately our children. We must continue to prioritize our students and their success in the face of these challenges.

As a parent, a grandparent and a small business owner, I know education is fundamental to success for our children. I'm proud to have the endorsement of Stephanie Meyer, and I will work to build on her leadership with a continued focus on maximizing student success. We must give our students the knowledge of the past and the skills of the future."
— Nancy Bostock
