In Polk County, a homeschool teacher wants to run for the school board.
Rebekah Ricks, a teacher and founder of The Homeschool Connection, says she has been a public, private, and now a homeschool teacher.
If elected, she says she will bring ideas to the district that she says have made homeschooling so successful like more one-on-one student development and teachers teaching more than one subject.
“If you have a teacher that teaches math and science they might get to know that student better. They may have twice that day in class," says Ricks.
Ricks says she does not like Common Core and if elected would work hard to get rid of it in Polk County.
