Frederick County Public School Board

Top Issues

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Students can’t learn if they don’t feel safe. Geoff supports strong, consistent discipline policies, better coordination with safety professionals, and resources that prevent crises before they happen. He believes in calm classrooms, secure buildings, clear behavioral expectations, and support systems that work. Education Teachers want the same thing parents and students want: order, stability, and the freedom to teach without constant disruption. Geoff believes the classroom works best when expectations are consistent and leadership has teachers’ backs. He supports restoring discipline, reducing unnecessary administrative burdens, and prioritizing instructional time. Taxes / Budget Academic performance must match the investment. Geoff brings decades of experience overseeing complex, high-stakes budgets, and he knows how to make dollars work harder. He will demand transparent reporting, independent audits when appropriate, and spending that delivers measurable results for students.
