I’m running because I believe partnership between families, teachers, and the district is the foundation of student success. I’ve spent years serving through PTO, PTA leadership, and the CSIP strategic planning committee, and I’ve seen what happens when collaboration replaces conflict — kids thrive.

This isn’t about politics; it’s about purpose. I want to make sure Nixa Schools continue to be a place where every child feels connected, every teacher feels supported, and every decision moves us forward.

These three words capture how I approach leadership and problem-solving:

Connection means building trust and open communication between families, staff, and administration — because progress only happens when we feel safe enough to be honest.

Direction means keeping decisions anchored in strategy and shared goals so we don’t drift with the latest trend or tension.

Innovation means having the courage to evolve — giving students and teachers tools that prepare them for a changing world.

In short: connection builds trust, direction keeps us steady, and innovation helps us grow.

Teachers are the heartbeat of our schools. Supporting them means more than appreciation week — it means consistent communication, clear expectations, and access to the tools they need to teach well.

I want teachers to know their work is seen and valued, and that they have a voice in shaping the future of Nixa Schools. When staff feel supported, students feel it too.

I believe involvement should feel inviting, not intimidating. That’s why I advocate for clear communication, accessible opportunities, and collaboration that feels like partnership, not permission.

Sometimes that looks like community coffee chats; other times, it’s creating spaces for parents to ask hard questions and share solutions. When we work together, we model for our kids what healthy community looks like.

Curriculum should be guided by what helps students learn, think critically, and prepare for the future. I support collaboration between educators, administration, and parents to make sure materials meet educational standards and reflect our shared commitment to excellence.

Education isn’t about avoiding hard topics — it’s about giving students the tools and context to understand them well.

I’m deeply rooted in faith, family, and community, where people matter more than politics. That’s exactly why I don’t believe political affiliation should play a role in a school board election.

School board positions are nonpartisan by design, meant to represent every student, family, and staff member — not one political group. Declaring a party alignment in this context would compromise that purpose.

Every conversation is appropriate when the context and timing are right.
It’s okay to talk about where to go to lunch — just not during the opening prayer on Sunday morning. It’s not the topic that makes something inappropriate; it’s the setting.

In the same way, political affiliation may be relevant in other elections, but in a nonpartisan role designed to serve everyone, it’s simply out of place.

It truly takes a village. You can:

✅ Request a yard sign
✅ Volunteer or host a neighborhood gathering
✅ Share campaign updates on social media
✅ Attend an event or bring a friend along
✅ Encourage others to visit JessicaBroadwayForNixaSchools.com

Every small action helps build connection — and that’s what this campaign is all about.

Being a mom to three boys in Nixa Schools gives me a front-row seat to what learning looks like from every angle — the excitement, the challenges, and the small victories that happen every day.

All three of my boys are colorblind, which means I’ve learned firsthand how important it is to advocate for accommodations and creative approaches that support each student’s unique learning style.

That experience has deepened my belief that education isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every child deserves to be understood, supported, and equipped in the way they learn best. It’s why I value collaboration between parents, teachers, and staff — because when we work together, every student can thrive.

I was born in Scotland and raised on the mission field, so my formative years were spent in British public schools. When my family moved to the U.S. during my teen years, my education became a blend of public school and homeschool curriculum — giving me a diverse and well-rounded view of how different systems approach learning.
