ALLYSON GEVERTZ
DeKalb County Board of Education
District 4 Representative
STUDENTS FIRST
I ran for a second term because I still have work to do. During my first term, I led the effort to put the DeKalb School District in compliance with the GA Department of Audits, advocated and achieved zero based budgeting for the first time in more than 10 years, and pushed for the use of objective data in prioritizing capital projects. All of this while keeping open lines of communication with you, the stakeholders.
My Top Priorities
Put Students First
Make ethical, thoughtful, fiscally responsible decisions focused on student needs
Communicate
Engage the community on policy, budget and student outcomes
Be a team player
Work with other School Board members and the Superintendent to advance the vision and mission of DeKalb Schools
Promote partnerships
Enhance relationships between the School District and business, government and community leaders
