Antonia’s
Priorities
-
Education outcomes are achieved through accountability and accountability begins with transparency and ends with results. By harnessing the power of data, I aim to make informed decisions that maximize resources and improve education outcomes for students. I pledge an unwavering commitment to transparency in decision-making and rigorous accountability for student success.
Accomplishment:
Seeing a lack of data driven metrics, I modified the superintendent evaluation tool to positively impact student outcomes across all demographics. This tool then became the framework for the public conversations about the resources necessary to achieve the academic and social emotional goals for students.
-
I am committed to providing equitable access to resources and prioritizing the needs of our students in every decision. Furthermore, I am dedicated to working alongside community partners to advocate for the essential resources required to meet the diverse needs of our student body.
Accomplishment:
I collaborated with school staff and county partners to redesign a budgetary process that engages community members from the onset.
-
Educators play a vital role in improving student outcomes. I am dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment for our educators in which they can thrive as they support student success.
I am thrilled to introduce myself. My name is Antonia Watts (she/her).
I am the current District 2 representative for the Howard County School Board.
I live in Elkridge, Maryland with my husband and two young children who both attend Howard County public schools.
I have served on the Board since December 2020. As such, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of making a difference in the lives of our students and community.
