ENDORSEMENTS
Sheriff Dennis Lemma, Seminole County Sheriff's Office:
"I am pleased to support your campaign efforts for Seminole County School Board, District 4. Please use the following remarks as my support for your campaign as you deem appropriate: I have personally known and worked with Carl Tipton for over 30 years, and can attest that Carl would be of great benefit to our school board and serving our community in this capacity. He has decades of experience as a deputy sheriff, as both a coach and mentor to our youth, as a spiritual leader, and as a non-profit executive in our community. His dedication to our youth is admirable, and Carl is uniquely positioned and informed through his experiences to be successful as a board member. I am proud to support him. I thank you for your commitment and unwavering dedication to public service. I wish you all the best of luck in your efforts in this election and beyond."
Rachel Saunders Plakon, State Representative District 36:
"I endorse Carl Tipton for Seminole County School Board District 4. He will be a fighter for our conservative values as he promotes a safe environment in our schools against indoctrination! I am confident that Carl will guide our schools to do what they were meant to do…educate and build character!"
Dr. Tina Calderone, former Seminole County School Board member District 5:
"I endorse Carl Tipton for Seminole County School Board District 4. Based on his experience in our schools as well as his community involvement, I believe he would make a great addition to the school board."
Dr. Jordan Rodriguez, Principal at Choices in Learning Elementary Charter School. Former principal of Seminole High and Rock Lake Middle:
“I have known Carl Tipton for the better part of the last 15 years. Carl is exactly the type of person we need to elect to the Seminole County School Board. Carl is sensible. He understands the profound value of building positive relationships with students. His years of experience on a school campus as a School Resource Deputy, coach, and teacher make him uniquely qualified to make decisions that will impact our students, teachers, and administrators alike. Carl understands that to ensure SCPS continues to be a leading district in the State of Florida, we must raise the bar, not lower it.
I could not give a stronger endorsement for this great man."
Boyd Karns, retired Deputy Superintendent SCPS Human Resources & high school principal:
"I have had the pleasure of working with Carl Tipton for nearly 25 years. Working directly with Carl in my role as Principal of Lake Mary High School for nearly 10 years, I witnessed Carl's commitment and dedication to the students with whom he worked and with the teachers and staff with whom he interacted on a daily basis. Whether in his role as a School Resource Officer or as a coach of our athletic teams, Carl was passionate about helping our young people become better students and community members. As a School Board member, Carl will bring the same work ethic, passion, professionalism and educational acumen that he has exhibited throughout his career. I strongly endorse Carl Tipton for the School Board of Seminole County, Florida."
Patrick Austin

"Carl will bring fresh eyes to our School Board. He has a broad range of experience to pull from as a School Resource Officer, Teacher and Coach for many years in our local schools. His passion to help others and get his hands dirty doing so is icing on the top for me. I always believe those seeking Public Office should have sweat equity and Carl has that indeed."
