Veteran educators Lisa Ellis and Sylvia Wright are facing off for the Democratic nomination for state superintendent Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ellis, who lost to Republican Ellen Weaver in the 2022 general election, is the founder of teacher advocacy group SC for Ed and currently serves as student activities director at Blythewood High School in Richland School District 2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wright, a North Charleston native and military spouse working on a doctorate in education, has taught in four states and most recently served as district coordinator for secondary education in Dorchester School District 4.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The State Media Co. spoke extensively with each candidate about why they were running, their issue platform and their qualifications for the job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Below is a rough transcript, edited for concision and clarity, of each candidates\u2019 responses to the newspaper\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why are you running for state superintendent?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Lisa Ellis<\/b>: I figured that I would give it a chance in 2022, and ended up obviously being disappointed by the results, but went back to work. And over the last four years, I have continued to be frustrated in the position of teacher, director of student activities, and seeing the negative outcomes for students and teachers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been advocating for positive change for our school system since 2018, and I have realized that people who have the power to make change don\u2019t really listen to teachers, still, even after all this time. And so I decided that I needed to try one more time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I feel like everything that has happened since Ellen Weaver has been superintendent of education has had a negative outcome on our students, our teachers, our public schools.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just being in the trenches, I\u2019ve seen how to fix that. And the way that you fix that is continuing to increase teacher salaries, but really work on teacher working conditions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If nothing else, the narrative is a different story than what we continue to hear coming out of the Department of Ed, and hopefully this time, I win, and we can focus on fixing the broken systems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sylvia Wright<\/b>: I have a grandson. And when my grandson turned 1, I started looking up private preschools for him, and I felt a conviction. The thought of, \u2018What about the other kids?\u2019 comes to my mind, because there are other kids who don\u2019t have that same access.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I sat back in my chair, and I said, \u2018OK Lord, what would you have me to do?\u2019 And that\u2019s when superintendent came to my mind, state superintendent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never thought about being state superintendent, so as I started looking up what was required, I was like, this is stuff that I\u2019ve already done as a leader \u2013 building the relationships, managing funds, initiatives, managing people, departments, building capacity in others, using data to move things forward.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing my whole career. So I\u2019m prepared, not only with experience, but I also have the professional training to do it. So it\u2019s like the perfect storm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How would you describe your issue platform?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Sylvia Wright:<\/b> No. 1, early childhood education. That\u2019s been neglected for so long. Money has been put into early childhood education, but where\u2019s the money going? We need to do a better job or be more intentional and strategic about how we use that money.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What I want to do is have every 4-year-old with access. That\u2019s my goal. Universal pre-K. Every 4-year-old will have access, regardless of income, to an early pre-K program. Because that\u2019s the foundation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The next policy priority would be school safety. And when I talk about school safety, I\u2019m not just talking about intruders. We have buildings here in South Carolina that have mold. There are buildings that when it rains, it floods, and so kids have to relocate to other sides of the room. We have overcrowded classrooms. We have student misbehavior. These are all the things that go into school safety.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We need a better system for how people report bullying, and the consequences for that. Holding people accountable. Mental health issues that we have in our schools, because kids are dealing with so much, and they don\u2019t have that support. There\u2019s waiting lists for kids to talk to mental health therapists. So we\u2019ve got to do a better job with meeting the needs of the students.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing I want to do is convene a school safety advisory council. And with that, I want to do an audit of school safety, and then create policy \u2014 how we can make our schools safer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And the final thing, the most important thing, is our educators. We can\u2019t do this without our educators. I want to strengthen our teacher pipeline. And in order to do that, I\u2019m going to create a compact with our universities, our South Carolina universities and technical schools, including HBCUs, and offer tuition support in exchange for five years of teaching in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This on top of a $60,000 starting salary. And I know we\u2019re heading in that direction, so I will continue to work with the legislature to increase teacher pay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then also improving working conditions. I\u2019m talking about cutting that administrative paperwork that teachers have to do. For example, writing extensive lesson plans. I\u2019ve been at a school where a principal required teachers to write detailed lesson plans, and it was like checking a box. They weren\u2019t really using the plan. So that\u2019s just wasting time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lisa Ellis<\/b>: First and foremost, we have got to take care of our school-based personnel. When I say teachers, I\u2019m talking about teachers, instructional assistants, anybody who has direct access to our students that we see every day. That includes your bus drivers. That includes your cafeteria workers, your instructional aides, your school admin. They have more and more placed on them with less and less time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said for years that a teacher\u2019s working conditions are a student\u2019s learning conditions. And so we\u2019ve really got to take care of those people that are interacting with our students every day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then we\u2019ve got to take care of our students. We\u2019ve got to make sure that we are looking at standards that are developmentally appropriate. We\u2019ve got to look at access to technology. We saw a huge increase in access to technology during COVID, and we\u2019re seeing sort of the negative impact of that. And so, it\u2019s really looking at what is in the best interest of our students.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From social emotional learning and making sure that students are regulating their emotions correctly, which leads into student discipline. Teachers are leaving because we\u2019re not taking care of our teachers in terms of altercations between students and teachers.<\/p>\n

Read more SC primaries are Tuesday. What latest polls say in GOP, Dem. races for governor<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s a lot of things that are sort of connected to each other. You look at your discipline, you look at your working conditions, you look at your funding, you look at the systems that are in place that are not working for our students and teachers. And we start to peel away at those systems to get back to what is important for our students in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What distinguishes you from your Democratic primary opponent?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Lisa Ellis:<\/b> I\u2019m still in schools. I\u2019m still in the classroom. I still see everyday things that are happening that I\u2019m like, well, here\u2019s how you make that better immediately.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Having that direct connection to students, to my colleagues at Blythewood High School in Richland School District 2, still talking to teachers across the state, you have that personal connection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An assistant principal the other day said, \u2018When you\u2019re superintendent, you\u2019ve got to fix this.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2019Well, let me just add it to the list.\u2019 And a lot of the stuff, they\u2019re not difficult fixes. It\u2019s looking at things that we\u2019ve been doing for decades that no longer work for the students and schools that we\u2019re dealing with and making those quick changes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think the other piece of it is, I\u2019m looking at whole systems. My plan is to look at the whole system and say, \u2018OK, here\u2019s where this system is broken. Here\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do to change the system.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been Band-Aiding public education in South Carolina for decades. It\u2019s not working. So we\u2019ve got to go back and look at the systems and fix the systems. And I think that is the main difference, is I\u2019m all about changing the systems and improving the systems that way. Going upstream and fixing the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sylvia Wright<\/b>: The first thing I want to do is acknowledge the fact that we are both educators, and I respect Lisa.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The biggest difference, though, between Lisa and I, is that I have leadership experience on the school level and the district level. With that being said, my perspective is different, and my experience with working with people on the different levels is different.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

South Carolina needs someone in the superintendent role who actually has worked in every level of the system, who has built relationships, who knows how to use data to move things forward.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taught in different states and I\u2019ve also taught in different school settings. So my experience, my knowledge of education and the system, not just as a classroom teacher, but as a leader, as an educational leader, is far above Lisa\u2019s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that in a disrespectful way, because I respect the fact that she\u2019s a teacher, and she\u2019s campaigning on the fact that she\u2019s still in the classroom, but when you\u2019re in the classroom, that\u2019s a limited perspective. That\u2019s a limited view. And what we need with our educational system is not that limited view.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a Democrat, how would you navigate a political system dominated by Republican lawmakers?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Sylvia Wright<\/b>: The key thing is relationships. Building relationships. And I\u2019ve already started talking to Republican elected officials, like state senators and members of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I spoke to (Senate Education Committee Chair Greg) Hembree for a good 15, 20 minutes the other day, and, honestly, we have more in common than we have separate. And talking to him just reaffirmed that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I actually look forward to working together with the other side, with people from another party. And I feel like with education, and again, this is from my conversation with Sen. Hembree, we all care about elevating our kids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Improving education in South Carolina is the goal. The issue that we are facing right now is the person who\u2019s in charge, it\u2019s more of a political agenda for her, versus really looking at what are the needs in our state when it comes to education. How can we support those needs, provide the resources strategically and intentionally. That\u2019s not her focus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And so, that will be my focus. That\u2019s how I would talk when it comes to my conversations. How can we elevate education in South Carolina? Because if we continue down this track, it\u2019s going to eventually affect South Carolina\u2019s economy. If our kids are graduating from school and they\u2019re not able to get into the workforce opportunities that are vast here in South Carolina, it\u2019s going to affect South Carolina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lisa Ellis<\/b>: I think it\u2019s all about having conversations and trying to understand where the problem started and figuring out where\u2019s the push for this legislation?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think school choice is great. I think that we have all kinds of different learners in our students in South Carolina, and so they should have choice. Now, do I think that means my tax dollars should go to fund somebody\u2019s private school tuition when they\u2019re 400% over poverty? That\u2019s not poverty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I think that it\u2019s having those conversations, trying to understand what the ultimate goal is, and then getting that narrative straight that, \u2018Hey, our public schools aren\u2019t failing our kids.\u2019 I mean, that\u2019s the narrative, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made enemies of teachers who are trying their best every single day to do what is in the best interest of their students, but all of a sudden, we can\u2019t trust them. That\u2019s the rhetoric that\u2019s coming out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the very least, as superintendent of education, I can change that narrative. I can point out where our schools are succeeding, where we\u2019re doing well, where we can improve if X, Y, and Z is taken off of teachers\u2019 plates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During SC for Ed, I had lots of conversations with Republican lawmakers. And when we got in the same room and had the conversations, we agreed on a lot of the same things.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But when people put it into sound bites, and when you put it into party politics, that\u2019s when the trouble starts. I fully believe that if I can sit in a room with somebody who wholeheartedly disagrees and we can figure out why, then we can figure out what the next steps are.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m willing to have those conversations, and I would assume that anybody who was in a position to affect public education is willing to have those conversations as well. Maybe that\u2019s the positive Pollyanna in me, but while I breathe, I hope.<\/p>\n
