North Charleston School Board Candidate

Welcome, North Charleston voters. This November, you have the chance to re-elect a proven North Charleston school board candidate who has spent decades putting local students and families first Carlotte Bailey. A wife, mother of six, grandmother, U.S. Marine Corps Reserves veteran, and 16-year Teacher's Assistant, Carlotte is running for re-election because she believes District 5's progress over the last four years is only the beginning, and she wants to keep guiding it forward with the same faith-driven, family-first leadership North Charleston has come to trust.

North Charleston isn't one neighborhood   it's dozens of communities, each with its own identity, and Carlotte believes every one of them deserves the same quality of education, the same school safety standards, and the same strong representation on the board. Her work touches families throughout:

Whether your family lives near the historic streets of Park Circle, the growing community at Coosaw Creek, or along the Ashley Phosphate corridor, Carlotte's approach is the same: listen first, then lead with what's best for students and families in that specific neighborhood.

Carlotte's decisions on the board are shaped by what's actually happening inside North Charleston's classrooms   from early elementary years through high school graduation.

Across these schools, Carlotte's priorities stay consistent: rising student achievement, stronger reading performance in the earliest grades, safe and secure learning environments, real support for the teachers doing the daily work, and meaningful parent involvement in what happens inside the classroom.

Since 2023, District 5 has posted measurable, verifiable progress:

This is what responsible, community-focused leadership looks like in practice   and it's the foundation Carlotte wants to keep building on for North Charleston's students.

North Charleston is more than a place on the map for Carlotte   it's home. From family outings at Riverfront Park to concerts and events at the North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center, from the shops at Tanger Outlets Charleston to community gatherings around Park Circle and civic business at North Charleston City Hall, these are the everyday places where North Charleston families live their lives. Add in the steady hum of Charleston International Airport, the local flavor of Firefly Distillery, the events hosted at the Charleston Area Convention Center, and family weekends at Wannamaker County Park, and you have a community with real identity and real pride   one Carlotte has called home for over five decades and is committed to serving well.

As a North Charleston school board candidate, Carlotte's support comes from a track record voters can see and verify, not just campaign promises:
