Staci Childs
I’m an attorney and former public school educator with experience in education law, policy, and governance. I have served on the Texas State Board of Education, where I have worked on curriculum standards, instructional materials, and statewide education policy affecting millions of Texas students. My background includes classroom teaching, legal analysis, and collaborative policymaking. I bring a strong understanding of public education systems, a commitment to equity and transparency, and the ability to work across diverse communities to improve outcomes for students, families, and educators.
One issue is strengthening public education so all students have access to high-quality schools. I will support policies that ensure accurate, rigorous instructional materials, promote transparency in decision-making, and address inequities in student outcomes through targeted academic support and accountability.
A second issue is ensuring that public systems support the overall well-being of communities. This includes improving access to affordable, accessible healthcare information and resources, and supporting a fair criminal justice system that emphasizes prevention, rehabilitation, and second chance opportunities. I will work collaboratively with community stakeholders to promote policies that are transparent and evidence-based.
