Hillsborough County Schools, Florida
Hillsborough County Schools, Florida
| Jason Mims - The "Read Good Books" Candidate A Campaign to Promote Academic Excellence in Hillsborough County Schools |
Voters and Contributors, Greetings!
Welcome to this site.
On August 26, 2008 a majority of voters in Hillsborough County and
Tampa, Florida may wake up desiring to make a change in the
composition of the School Board of Hillsborough County.
Before I qualified as a candidate on Juneteenth, the School Board
represented a "Closed Political System." Only those politically connected
need apply for membership!
How dare anyone not politically connected even dream of bringing a
different brand of leadership to the School Board and how dare anyone
ask students "What good book have you just read and what good book
are you reading now?"
Over the next four years, the School Board will spend over 12 billion of our
tax dollars for public education in Hillsborough County. The politically
connected candidates will assure you that they are more capable of being
expert stewards of those dollars.
Your vote for Jason Mims on August 26, however, will mean that ALL
members of the Class of 2012 and thereafter Read Good Books and are
young people who have an advantage over students who cannot read
them.
In His Service,
Jason

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who
knocks, the door will be opened.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who
knocks, the door will be opened.
| For sixteen weeks in 2008, I was a candidate for School Board. This is the original Homepage for The Jason Mims Campaign. The two other candidates received enough votes in the low voter turnout Primary Election to move forward to the General Election, November 4. Unofficial Results and Reflections |
| 2008 is hardly the time for those few who pay close attention to minority participation rates in rigorous academic classes to abandon students with strong reading skills just because of the prevailing lack of community interest in who is on the School Board of Hillsborough County or what they are doing with the 3 billion dollar annual budget for public education in the nation's 8th-largest school district. |
