Laxton running for supt. of schools

Submitted Suwannee Democrat The Suwannee Democrat Thu Oct 18, 2012, 10:02 AM EDT

Live Oak — My name is David Laxton, and I am running for superintendent of schools. I am a LEADER, not a director. I am an EDUCATOR, not a politician. I want a chance to provide leadership as your superintendent to our students, teachers and parents within the Suwannee County school system.

I know that I can make the changes we need to bring back the pride in our schools. I want to see our school district come back from a “C” grade for the past three years to the “A” grade school that I know that we can be.  I know that I am the best choice for you to make on Nov. 6. My campaign theme is “Stepping Up to Measure Up” and this is what we all must do as we prepare our students with a first class education. Help me improve our schools. Help me win this election with your vote for David Laxton.  

Asked if he could handle the job, Laxton replied “Yes, I am an educator, not a politician. I want a chance to provide leadership as your superintendent to our students, teachers and parents within the Suwannee County school system. I want your readers to know that I can make the changes we need to bring back pride in our schools. I want to see our school district come back from a “C” grade for the past three years to the “A” grade school that I know that we can be. Children are a passion of mine, and I will be their voice.”

General election candidate questionnaires - First round
Here are the first round of candidate questionnaires for the 2012 election.
We are republishing those questionnaires from the candidates that were sent out earlier this year that won the primary in August. Those questionnaires are here in these pages, published alongside the opposing candidates that were not on the primary ballot but will be on the general ballot on Nov. 6 (Those that participated). 
To give you an even better sense of the candidate, we decided to ask them four more questions. Those questions and the candidate’s answers will be published in the Oct. 24 edition as well as on this web site. This will include the state attorney, sheriff and property appraiser race.  
To wrap up this election cycle forum, our picks will be published in the Oct. 26 edition and on this website in addition to our thoughts on each of the 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution.
We began interviewing the candidates at our office this week and getting to know them better before we make our picks.  
A note to the candidates.
Oct. 26 is the last publication date that we will allow candidate announcements free of charge. You are entitled to one free announcement on the front page. Anything after that, is a paid advertisement.  
Early voting commences Oct. 27.
