I became a Rapid City parent the hard way. A family court case brought my son here in 2018, and this town has been home ever since. Everything I know about fighting for a kid, I learned fighting for mine.
So when I say parents decide, it is not a slogan somebody handed me. It is the lesson of my life. Nobody loves your child more than you do. Not a judge, not an agency, and not a school bureaucracy.
That conviction runs through my whole education plan: curriculum posted in the open, teachers paid what they are worth, and funding that follows the student to the school that fits.
