Proven Success
Student Success Through Proven Instruction
David Chastain believes that education should be guided by proven pedagogy, not every new trend or educational fad that comes along. He consistently supports instructional methods that are research-based, teacher-driven, and demonstrated to improve student outcomes.
He trusts educators and values stability in curriculum, knowing that frequent shifts undermine classroom success and student mastery.
Major Investments in Schools Through Ed-SPLOST
David has been a strong advocate for Ed-SPLOST, ensuring that local tax dollars directly benefit Cobb students without adding long-term debt.
One of the most significant recent achievements for Post 4 is the rebuild and renovation of Sprayberry High School, a long-awaited project approved under SPLOST VI. This investment modernizes classrooms, improves safety, and prepares the campus for future generations of students.
Additional Post 4 Ed-SPLOST investments include:
- Major facility upgrades and renovations
- HVAC replacements and infrastructure improvements
- Athletic, fine arts, and instructional space enhancements
These projects strengthen learning environments and protect community property values.
Unwavering Commitment to School Safety
David has consistently voted every year to invest tens of millions of dollars, well over $30 million annually, in student safety.
His record reflects unwavering support for:
- Cobb’s dedicated school police department
- Campus security upgrades and access controls
- Emergency preparedness and safety training
- Ongoing safety technology and infrastructure
David believes safety is not optional, it is foundational to learning.
