Pepperhill School Board Candidate

Hello, Pepperhill voters. This November brings a chance to keep a proven Pepperhill school board candidate serving your neighborhood — a leader 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 Pepperhill has come to trust.

Pepperhill holds its own steady identity within North Charleston — a residential neighborhood known for its settled streets, close neighbors, and easy proximity to the area's main travel corridors. Carlotte believes every family here deserves the same quality of education and the same committed representation, no matter which street they call home. Her work touches families throughout areas including:

Whether a family lives on the quiet residential streets within Pepperhill itself, in the neighboring Windermere community, or close to the businesses lining Rivers Avenue, 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 classrooms serving Pepperhill's children — from early elementary years through high school graduation. The neighborhood falls within the Charleston County School District, and its students commonly attend schools such as Chicora Elementary School, Morningside Middle, and North Charleston High School, all part of the District 5 seat she represents.

Across the schools within her District 5 seat, 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 Pepperhill's students.

Pepperhill is more than a place on the map for Carlotte — it's part of the community she's called home for decades. From quiet evenings on Pepperhill's residential streets to the everyday errands that carry families along Rivers Avenue, from the close bonds between longtime neighbors to the settled, established character that defines this part of North Charleston, these are the everyday places where Pepperhill families live their lives. Add in convenient access to I-26 and I-526, the steady, dependable feel of the surrounding blocks, and the sense of community that has held strong for years, and you have a neighborhood with real identity and real pride — one Carlotte is committed to serving well as a Pepperhill school board candidate.

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