Election Day is November 3, 2026.
Every child deserves a school where they belong and thrive.
I’m Allison Gullick, a Phoenix Elementary parent, public health professional and community advocate. I’m running to help every school in our district grow stronger through supported educators, transparent decisions, and equitable resources that reach students and classrooms.
Strong schools. Supported educators. Connected communities.
WHY I’M RUNNING
I believe in our students, our educators, and the future of Phoenix Elementary.
I stepped into this fight as a parent. I stayed because I saw how often families, educators, and students were asked to carry the weight of decisions they did not make. School closures, shrinking programs, uneven access, and unanswered questions have cost our community trust. At the same time, we expect educators to do more with less in schools serving families already stretched to the edge. I’m not running to manage decline. I’m running to rebuild trust, protect what works, and make sure district resources reach every student.
“I’m running because I believe deeply in our students, our educators, and what we can build together.”
ALLISON’S PRIORITIES
Strong schools start with supported students, educators, and families.
A school board should ask hard questions, protect public dollars, and make decisions with families instead of for them.
Invest in classrooms
Direct more resources to school sites, improve educator pay and retention, reduce class sizes, and give teachers and staff closest to educating our students the support they need.
Protect neighborhood schools
End closure-first thinking. Build a real enrollment strategy, expand strong programs across the district, and make every school a school families want to choose.
Defend special education
Meet every child ’s legal and educational needs, keep qualified staff close to students, partner with families, and hold the district accountable for services and outcomes.
Make the budget public and clear
Publish school-level budgets, explain contracts and spending in plain language, answer public records requests on time, and show residents where their money goes.
Strengthen early learning
Protect access to high-quality preschool district-wide, support evidence-based reading instruction, and give educators the staffing and materials to meet students where they are.
Make equity visible
Track access, spending, staffing, and outcomes across schools. Then act when the data shows that some students carry a heavier burden or receive fewer opportunities.
Listen. Learn. Follow the evidence. Work together.
Public health perspective
I use data to find inequities, understand root causes, and turn evidence into practical action.
Community leadership
I bring neighbors together, build coalitions, and keep showing up when an issue affects our community.
Thoughtful oversight
I ask direct questions, read the details, and put students and the public ahead of political convenience.
MEET ALLISON
A parent, epidemiologist, and community builder.
I grew up as the daughter of two public school teachers. They taught me that strong schools do more than educate individual children. They hold communities together. Today, I work in public health as a community epidemiologist focused on health equity and improving our Arizona communities. I also serve my community, Westwood Village and Estates through neighborhood leadership, and sit on SRP District 6 Council representing Central Phoenix and advocate fiercely for our neighbors. Most importantly, I’m a Phoenix Elementary parent.

The values behind this campaign
Belonging
Every child and educator should feel that their identity is valued and their presence is essential to our schools.
Community
We are stronger when we build coalitions across neighborhoods and put our collective future ahead of individual politics.
Transparency
The public deserves to know how decisions are made, how dollars are spent, and how their voices are considered.
Opportunity
Access to strong programs, supported educators, and high-quality materials should not depend on a student’s zip code.
