The campaign kickoff was a great success. Around 200 people showed! Big thanks to everyone who came out.
We had a diverse crowd - parents, educators, business people, and students - all brought together by their commitment to the success of our public school system. The show of support was both humbling and encouraging; I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my campaign.

January 18th, 2010
Welcome to the official Sessions for School Board blog! I’ll be posting here regularly over the next couple months.
My purpose is twofold: first, I want to provide updates about general campaign happenings like speeches, forums, rallies, etc; and second, I want to share the ideas and insights I gain from talking with people just like you. I know this race is going to take a lot of work, but the response of Columbia’s parents and educators has been encouraging. Remember though - I can’t do this without you. Please make a contribution, sign up to volunteer, or display a yard sign. Let’s get to work!
We’re planning a kickoff event for sometime in February. Date, time, and location: TBA.
Thanks for your support. Stay tuned for more updates.
