{"biography":"[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556207622842)\n\nAllEvents: [AllEvents](https://allevents.in/org/betsy-mcentire-acs-school-board-position-2/24021550)\n\n\nIf you live in Arlington, have children who attend Arlington schools, work for Arlington Community Schools, or own a business in Arlington, you are an ACS stakeholder. If I have the honor of being elected to the ACS Board of Education, this is my commitment to you. \n\ud835\ude40\ud835\ude6d\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude5a \ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68 I will focus on the areas that create long-term excellence. I believe ACS should increase our per-student expenditures by focusing on instruction, student support, and improving our student-teacher ratios. As a board member, I will push for public work sessions and financial reports. Additionally, when a stakeholder attends a board meeting to present Citizen Comments, I will follow up with them personally. \n\ud835\ude4f\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68\ud835\ude65\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude6e \ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68 I will ask questions, use data to drive decisions, and be fully informed before voting. I will clearly and publicly explain every vote I make while in office. It also means I will make myself available for questions from stakeholders and provide candid information where I can or direct them to the right point of contact when I can\u2019t. \n\ud835\ude4e\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude6c\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude59\ud835\ude68\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude65 \ud835\ude62\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68 I will encourage conservative spending that benefits our ACS classrooms with the most significant return on investment for the most students. I will also stress the importance of intentional, long-term planning for new construction and ongoing maintenance of existing facilities.","campaigns":[{"contest":"arlington_school_board_position_2","county":"Shelby","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"TN","title":"Arlington School Board Position 2"}],"cf_filings":[{"county":"shelby","displayname":"McEntire, Betsy","documents":[{"datesubmitted":"08/27/24","documentid":"49A3963E-7546-4FEA-8D77-ADF04D18FBDC","documentname":"McEntire, Betsy - CFD 3rd Quarter - 2024.pdf","documentnameid":["49A3963E-7546-4FEA-8D77-ADF04D18FBDC","McEntire, Betsy - CFD 3rd Quarter - 2024.pdf"],"documenttype":"2024 CFD","electionname":null},{"datesubmitted":"07/25/24","documentid":"883FF177-5F24-4BBF-A2E3-D77C0CB95CAC","documentname":"McEntire, Betsy - CFD Pre-General 2024.pdf","documentnameid":["883FF177-5F24-4BBF-A2E3-D77C0CB95CAC","McEntire, Betsy - CFD Pre-General 2024.pdf"],"documenttype":"2024 CFD","electionname":null},{"datesubmitted":"07/02/24","documentid":"1746A253-EB79-4E1E-8EEF-BCDA6EC62270","documentname":"McEntire, Betsy - CFD 2nd Quarter 2024.pdf","documentnameid":["1746A253-EB79-4E1E-8EEF-BCDA6EC62270","McEntire, Betsy - CFD 2nd Quarter 2024.pdf"],"documenttype":"2024 CFD","electionname":null},{"datesubmitted":"04/08/24","documentid":"B7AAE13A-50E7-4E3E-B9F3-7E22684E7DBC","documentname":"McEntire, Betsy - CFD 1st Quarter 2024.pdf","documentnameid":["B7AAE13A-50E7-4E3E-B9F3-7E22684E7DBC","McEntire, Betsy - CFD 1st Quarter 2024.pdf"],"documenttype":"2024 CFD","electionname":null},{"datesubmitted":"04/08/24","documentid":"D556AAF0-3AB8-4CA0-AFEC-589D0542DA6E","documentname":"McEntire, Betsy - Appointment of Treasurer 2024.pdf","documentnameid":["D556AAF0-3AB8-4CA0-AFEC-589D0542DA6E","McEntire, Betsy - Appointment of Treasurer 2024.pdf"],"documenttype":"Appointment of Treasurer","electionname":null}],"filertype":"Candidate","officename":"Arlington School Bd., Pos. 2","source_customer_id":"EE6EBC62-7B7C-432F-869E-4DE111271E07","source_filer_id":"6938AF27-C78F-4FAA-B788-6709EF03E003","source_system":"easyvote","state":"TN","status":"Active"}],"firstname":"Betsy","fullname":"Betsy McEntire","lastname":"McEntire","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"arlington_school_board_position_2","contest_title":"Arlington School Board Position 2","county":"Shelby","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2024-08-01","office_county":"shelby","office_key":"arlington_school_board_position_2","office_title":"Arlington School Board Position 2","party":"Nonpartisan","pgr":"general","state":"TN"}],"county":"shelby","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"arlington_school_board_position_2","contest_title":"Arlington School Board Position 2","county":"Shelby","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2024-08-01","office_county":"shelby","office_key":"arlington_school_board_position_2","office_title":"Arlington School Board Position 2","party":"Nonpartisan","pgr":"general","state":"TN"},"party":"Nonpartisan","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2024}],"office_key":"arlington_school_board_position_2","office_title":"Arlington School Board Position 2","state":"TN","terms":[]}],"terms":[],"token":"NFF8aIjsWF"}
