Royce Mann, who is running for Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education, speaking into a microphone

We have nine members on our Board of Education. Not one was a student in our schools in the last two decades.
Royce Mann is running to change that.

  • Atlanta’s school board has nine members, and none attended APS in the last 20 years.
  • Royce Mann is running to bring real student experience back to the board.
  • Atlanta deserves leaders who listen, do their homework, and deliver results.
  • Royce has spent years working with educators, families, and legislators to strengthen public schools.
  • He’s seen firsthand how hard teachers work and how much parents and students care.
  • He knows students thrive when they get the support they deserve.
  • Royce believes public education is the foundation of Atlanta’s future and every child deserves a fair shot.
