Andrew Disney

Candidate for Loudon County School Board District 3

Greenback/Glendale

My name is Andrew ‘’Andy’’ Disney. I am a Loudon County native and have lived in Greenback my entire life.  I attended Greenback School from Kindergarten through 12th grade.  I have worked for the City of Loudon Fire Department for 20 years and currently hold the rank as Captain.  My wife Beth, has worked for Greenback School in the special education department since 2006.  We have two children, Adeleigh (11yrs old), and Beau (8yrs old) that also attend Greenback.  I have volunteered with the Greenback Volunteer Fire Department for more than 20 years now and assist coaching various athletics programs within the community. 

I take a bold stance as a born again Christian and conservative republican. I strongly reject allowing any liberal ideology into our schools. I believe we should do everything in our ability to allow our children to be innocent minded kids without corrupting their minds with nonsense.  I realize that college may not always be the best route for every student and advocate for various types of career and technical education classes that allow graduates alternate routes for success. 

Having quality teachers that feel they are listened to and supported is also top priority.  We have witnessed significant growth inside our county and I feel it is crucial that we plan ahead to ensure that we are able to meet the needs and continue to offer a quality education to every child for years to come.

I will consider it an honor and a privilege if elected to this seat and humbly ask for your vote and support in the March 5, 2024 election.

Greg Everett

For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Greg Everett. I am a conservative running for Loudon County School Board District 3 here in Greenback.

Quick bit of history, I enlisted in the Marine Corps when I was 17, joined the infantry and served my time for good ole lady America, some of which was overseas. I quickly learned a few lessons on leadership, consequences, and problem solving. Afterwards, I earned my degree in Biology from MTSU and then moved to Memphis where I earned my Doctorate from The Southern College of Optometry. Eventually around 2012, I settled in East TN and currently live here in Greenback with my wife and 3 kids. Two daughters that go to Greenback, and a son who will follow suit in a few years.

The reason why I decided to run for school board is because I believe we can, and need to do better. We need to establish a standard and a culture of winning, where above average is common and expected. No need to reinvent the wheel. The setup at Greenback is a perfect one for our kids to excel, at any level, endeavor, or venture. We should be dominating all of the metrics in Loudon County, across the board. Those are my intentions. I may not be a school board expert, but I do know a good bit about education, and I do know how to solve problems. I wasn’t born and raised here in Greenback but I am raising my children here. Therefore, regardless of elections or policies put in place by the state, I will always do what it takes to get results. That’s a brief bit about me and what I stand for. If your views align with mine and what I’ve stated above, I would appreciate your vote and support in the upcoming election.
