I am a mother of two Pitt County Schools children, and also have 20 years of teaching experience within public education. My children have been in the public schools of Pitt County since Kindergarten. As a parent as well as an educator, I am able to have a viewpoint that allows me to make sound decisions with multiple perspectives in mind.

District 2: Amy Cole

Hi, my name is Amy Cole and I am running for the Board of Education District 2 seat. I am a mom of two boys, Tyler and Braeden. They both attend Pitt County public schools. My youngest attends HB Sugg and my oldest attends Farmville Middle. I am also a product of a public school education. I graduated from ECU with my undergraduate degree in mathematics. I then went on to pursue a masters degree (also from ECU) in mathematics education. I taught high school for 5 years, including JH Rose HS here in Pitt County before getting my current job as an instructor at Pitt Community College.

I have met many wonderful people who work in our school system, all of whom put our children first. Our teachers, staff, administrators, and senior staff are all thoughtful, caring, and committed, and if selected to serve another term on the Board of Education, I will continue to build relationships with them in ways that continue to put our children first.

If re-elected, my top priority will be to continue to work on increasing teacher supplements. In order to attract highly qualified teachers (especially with the teacher shortage crisis), we must work to prioritize this critical need. We want to competitively attract the best teachers, allowing our children to have the best educational experience.

I am qualified for this position. I have voted in favor of increasing teacher supplements, keeping students in person during COVID (as much as we could), and not banning books from our libraries to name a few. I will ALWAYS put the needs of our children first over politics. I believe in doing what is best for all the students of PCS, not just my district. I listen and am not easily swayed. I research all possible outcomes before deciding how I will cast my vote.

Voted to increase teacher supplements and plans to continue working to increase them.
