A candidate who ran for both Charlottesville City Council and the Charlottesville School Board in 2023 will try again this year for the elected body that oversees the city’s schools.
“Charlottesville City Public Schools play a vital role in the community, serving as both a cornerstone and a source of pride for its residents,” Cooper said in an announcement sent out this morning.
Cooper said he will base his campaign on three primary goals: Building Strong Readers, Boosting Attendance, and Supporting the Union.
“Together, we can create a more equitable, inclusive, and successful school system that reflects the best of what Charlottesville has to offer,” Cooper continued.
Cooper is the vice chair of the Charlottesville Democratic Committee.
This year the terms of Emily Dooley, Dom Morse, and Lisa Torres are up for election.
