Experience Matters.
Experienced. Trusted. Independent.
Mr. Brown is a lifelong leader in education, not a politician. He has launched his campaign for re-election to the Orleans Parish School Board - District 1 because he believes that our kids and teachers matter. His life's work has shown a deep commitment in endurance that kids are given the tools that they need to grow. Principal Brown has led four (4) public schools, twice receiving the honor of Principal of the Year. Coach Brown has been a trusted community leader for decades, serving as a mentor to our kids at St. Roch Playground and developing over 300 principals and assistant school leaders. After Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Brown was determined to help develop and strengthen our community. Because he is a trusted leader, Mr. Brown was elected by his peers to serve an unprecedented three terms as President of the Orleans Parish School Board. With your support, Mr. Brown will continue to serve as a thoughtful, solutions-oriented, and independent representative for the Lower 9 and New Orleans East.
