Northwoods School Board Candidate

Hello, Northwoods voters. This November gives you the chance to keep a dependable Northwoods school board candidate in place — a leader who has spent decades focused on local students and families above all else: Carlotte Bailey. A wife, mother of six, grandmother, veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, and a 16-year Teacher's Assistant, Carlotte is asking for another term because she views District 5's gains over the past four years as the beginning of something bigger, and she's committed to carrying that same faith-driven, family-first leadership forward for a community that has learned to count on her.

Northwoods holds a distinct identity — one of North Charleston's older, more established residential communities, anchored by a mix of longtime neighborhoods and steady commercial growth along Rivers Avenue. Carlotte insists every family here deserves the same standard of education and the same committed representation, regardless of which street they live on. Her work reaches families throughout areas including:

Whether a family lives near the retail corridor along Ashley Phosphate Road, in the quiet streets of Forest Hills, or close to Northwoods Mall where generations of local families have shopped and gathered, Carlotte's approach stays the same: listen first, then lead with what genuinely serves the students and families of that neighborhood.

Carlotte's votes on the board are grounded in what's actually happening inside classrooms serving Northwoods kids — from their earliest elementary years through graduation day. Northwoods falls within the Charleston County School District, and its students commonly attend schools such as Northwoods Middle School, Chicora Elementary, and North Charleston High School, all part of the District 5 seat she represents.

Across the schools within her seat, Carlotte's priorities hold steady: raising student achievement, building stronger reading skills in the earliest grades, keeping campuses safe and secure, backing the teachers carrying out the daily work, and giving parents a real voice in classroom decisions.

District 5 has delivered measurable, verifiable progress since 2023:

These results show what accountable, community-focused leadership can achieve — and they're the foundation Carlotte plans to build on for Northwoods' students.

For Carlotte, Northwoods is more than a name on a map — it's a community she's called home for decades. From weekend shopping trips at Northwoods Mall to family outings at Forest Hills, from the steady rhythm of daily life along Ashley Phosphate Road to the quiet, tree-lined streets that give the area its name, these are the places where Northwoods families build their everyday lives. Add in easy access to I-26 and I-526, the long-established local businesses along Rivers Avenue, and the tight community feel that has held on through decades of change, and you have a neighborhood with real character — one Carlotte is committed to serving well as a Northwoods school board candidate.

As a Northwoods school board candidate, Carlotte's support rests on a record voters can verify, not just campaign talk:
