`MONICA COLUCCI’S REASON TO SERVE

MONICA COLUCCI’S
REASON TO SERVE

As an elementary school teacher for over 26 years in Miami-Dade County Public Schools, I have seen firsthand the detrimental impact of liberal policies being implemented in local schools throughout the country. Our current School Board Member has either supported or stood idly by as progressive activists and special interests seek to promote socialist curriculums and ideologies in our schools.

More importantly, as an educator and daughter of a Cuban immigrant, I am keenly aware that these dangerous ideologies run contrary to our country’s fundamental founding principles. When these are introduced to young impressionable minds, our democracy is at risk and freedom is threatened. As a result, I feel compelled to run for the School Board to serve as a strong advocate for parental rights and safeguard our children’s right to be educated and not indoctrinated.

A vote for me will be a vote for “Education, Not Indoctrination.”

I believe the best way to prepare students for the future is to provide them with a strong academic foundation to become independent thinkers and productive citizens. It is essential that our educational system provide ample opportunities for all students. I am a strong proponent of Career and Technical Education as an alternative pathway for students that should in no way be viewed as a less desirable route. As a mother and woman of faith, I understand the need to protect our children’s minds as well as their spiritual wellbeing. The Parental Rights in Education state law enacted this year was a victory for all parents and their children.

I am prepared to undertake the challenges that will be presented before me as your School Board Member in Florida’s largest school district. I will provide effective and positive solutions for the betterment of education in Miami-Dade County.

As your School Board Member, I pledge to work tirelessly to ensure the best education for students while being an advocate parents can trust to protect their rights.  I also am committed to doing the right thing without fear of political ramifications.

Thanks for your time and God bless you and your family,
