Kelly Kohls

Dr. Kelly Kohls is a wife of over 40 years and the mother of five adult children.

She is an educator and a businesswoman. After teaching for ten years at

universities, she then operated a private practice for fifteen years.

As the former president of the Springboro Community City Schools Board of

Education, Dr. Kohls also served on the board of education for the Warren

County Career Center.

With her extensive background in the field of education, Dr. Kohls has seen

public education change in ways that many citizens do not fully

understand. Dr. Kohls speaks at gatherings and meetings all over the US to

train school board members on how to be an effective steward of their

community’s public education system. She trains parents to be involved in

school matters by taking personal responsibility for their children’s

education and taking actions to insist on education accountability.

While public education is the answer for some students, parents should have

other options, as well. School choice allows moms and dads to make informed

decisions about the educational opportunities that best meet the needs of each

student.

Dr. Kohls strives to prepare citizens and school board members to affect a shift

in the current philosophy of education. She travels the state at her own

expense, educating the public on “Why Education Is Failing Our Students and

Why Common Core Is Not the Answer.” She presents not only the problems,

but solutions and recommendations, as well.

Dr. Kohls follows her words with action, to which her record in Springboro

gives evidence. While she served on the school board there, the district

succeeded in reducing the per-student expenditures, lowering annual taxes for

district property owners by $1.3 million. While academic achievement scores

rose, the Springboro community, once the second highest taxed district, now

enjoys the lowest property tax rate in Warren County.

Dr. Kohls believes that it is imperative that we fix our public schools, which

have become a money funnel to the adults who then fund the anti-American

political agenda.
