Sumner County · District 3
Chanitta Nealy is running for Sumner County School Board District 3 on a platform built on Inclusivity, Unity, Safety, and Humanity — for every student, every teacher, and every family.
Purpose
"God gave me a vision in 2025 — to Fight for Others and to Fight for What's Right."
That calling is not about personal ambition. It is not rooted in grievance or dissatisfaction. It is grounded in responsibility. I am running to demonstrate what advocacy in action looks like for District 3.
Now is the time to return to the fundamentals — to build schools that reflect inclusivity, unity, safety, and humanity. When we commit to these pillars, we strengthen the collaborative culture our district deserves.
This campaign is about action, not rhetoric. It is about service, not status. It is about fighting for every student, every teacher, and every family in District 3.

Ensuring school libraries remain filled with books that educate, inspire, and reflect the diversity of our community. Upgrading playgrounds so every child feels seen, valued, and included.
Strengthening teacher support through meaningful parent engagement. Bringing parents and teachers back to the decision-making table so policies reflect the real needs of our children.
Advocating for increased educational and mental health resources. Every student must feel safe — physically, emotionally, and intellectually — to reach their full potential.
Fighting for the basic needs of every student to be met. Every child deserves dignity, access, and opportunity. When we lead with humanity, every student can succeed.
