Park Circle School Board Candidate

Hello, Park Circle voters. This November brings an opportunity to send a tested Park Circle school board candidate back to the board — someone who has dedicated decades to putting local kids and families ahead of everything else: Carlotte Bailey. A wife, mother of six, grandmother, veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, and a Teacher's Assistant for 16 years, Carlotte is seeking another term because she sees District 5's momentum over the past four years as just a starting point, and she's determined to carry that same faith-driven, family-centered leadership forward for a community that has come to rely on her.

Park Circle stands apart — a historic North Charleston neighborhood centered on its namesake traffic circle and park, and now among the region's fastest-growing hubs for arts, dining, and small business. Carlotte holds firm that every family deserves the same caliber of education and the same dedicated representation, regardless of which block they call home. Her efforts reach families throughout areas such as:

Whether a family calls the shops and breweries circling the park home, settles in the quieter streets of Chicora-Cherokee, or lives near Riverfront Park where festivals gather crowds year-round, Carlotte's method stays constant: listen closely first, then act on what truly serves the students and families of that particular block.

What guides Carlotte's votes on the board is the reality inside classrooms serving Park Circle's kids — from their first years of elementary school through senior year. Park Circle falls under the Charleston County School District, with students commonly attending schools such as North Charleston High School, Chicora Elementary, and Morningside Middle, each part of the District 5 seat she holds.

Throughout the schools within her seat, Carlotte's focus never wavers: lifting student achievement, strengthening early reading skills, ensuring safe and secure campuses, backing the teachers doing the hard daily work, and welcoming parents into what's happening in the classroom.

District 5 has delivered measurable, verifiable gains since 2023:

These numbers reflect what community-driven, accountable leadership can accomplish — and they're the base Carlotte intends to build on for Park Circle's students going forward.

For Carlotte, Park Circle isn't just a spot on a map — it's a community she's called home for decades. From weekend outings at Riverfront Park to browsing the shops and breweries that ring the traffic circle, from catching live music at Century Bar to watching small businesses thrive along Spruill Avenue, these are the places where Park Circle families spend their everyday lives. Add in convenient access to I-26, the ongoing redevelopment near the former Charleston Naval Complex, the steady comeback of Olde North Charleston, and the close-knit spirit that's held strong through the neighborhood's rapid growth, and you get a community with genuine character — one Carlotte is committed to serving well as a Park Circle school board candidate.
