I'm Justin Shealy. As a parent, I've grown increasingly concerned about issues facing our schools—declining safety, politics taking precedence over academics, and a lack of transparency with parents. Watching the current school board's decisions has made it clear to me: meaningful change is needed in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system.

​

I’m running for School Board because I believe it’s time to put students first, restore parental rights, and bring common sense accountability back to our schools. I want to make sure every parent feels confident sending their child to a CMS classroom, knowing they’ll be safe, challenged academically, and taught without political bias.

​

I’m not a career politician. I’m a father, a neighbor, and an advocate who understands what’s at stake for our children and our community. With your support, I’ll fight for:

​

• Safe schools that prioritize student well-being

• Back-to-basics education focused on core academics

• Curriculum transparency and parental involvement

• Fiscal responsibility that directs resources where they matter most—classrooms and teachers

​

Together, we can restore trust in CMS and ensure our schools reflect the values and priorities of the families they serve.
