Meet Lindsey
As a parent, early childhood educator, and community advocate, my focus is committed to being a student-centered and teacher-forward voice for our district.
As a Mom
My name is Lindsey Draugel and I am a mom of three boys that I am raising here in the Charleston area and have been a part of two different school districts. Being a parent of a neurodivergent kiddo presents with a set of challenges that require knowledge and advocacy that I have had to acquire to navigate the school system. This is what motivates and drives me to run for a position on the school board.
Experience
With a background of over 20 years in childcare that started as a teacher in a classroom, to building and running a highly successful preschool program from the ground up, my experience has proven that developmentally appropriate practices work towards a student's success. I know what it looks like when a school environment works for kids, and I have seen what it looks like when it does not.
Point of View
After many discussions with teachers, parents, and community members, I began to attend the Berkeley County School District board meetings for the purpose of asking hard questions and advocating for students, teachers and families who deserve a voice. I am running for the District 2 school board seat to be your voice in that room.
Showing Up
From board meetings to candidate forums to community events, I show up for our students, teachers, and families.

What I'll Fight For
Curriculum & Assessment Reform
Partner with curriculum and academic departments to rework pacing guides, reduce over-reliance on standardized assessments, and limit screen time in early elementary grades.
Intervention & Student Support
Restore reading and math interventionists and promote Social Emotional Learning at every level, starting in lower elementary.
Parent Education & Communication
Ensure families receive clear, transparent communication so they can be informed and empowered partners in their child's education.
