Kelley Davis Kelley Davis is a longstanding advocate for students of all ages. As a member of the US Army, she specialized in Qualifications Training, Small Arms, and Supply. Stationed in Panama, Kelley developed and implemented a swim training program for young soldiers to reduce the risk of drowning and increase proficiency of soldiers in their water-bound environment. After graduating from the University of Central Florida where she majored in Mathematics and Education, Kelley taught mathematics at Seminole High School for five years. During her time there, she initiated a community support group for teen parents focused on raising graduation rates, lobbied for exceptional education students, and engaged with students involved in the disciplinary process.

Kelley went on to earn her law degree with high honors from the University of Florida. While attending school herself, she served as an Assistant Professor in the Virgil Hawkins Program designed to assist incoming minority law students with their transition to Law School.  Now with over twenty years of legal experience, Kelley has an active private practice in the fields of family law and criminal defense where she has been involved with hundreds of cases, many of which involve students in both the civil and criminal court systems.

All the while, Kelley was raising two sons as a single parent, both of whom attended and graduated from Seminole County Public Schools.  Kelley engaged with the public schools at every level throughout her sons’ education and brings that experience to her position on the Seminole County School Board. Now her two grand-daughters are beginning their journey in the public school system and Kelley is as determined as ever to support, promote, and enrich Seminole County Schools for the benefit of all our children for years to come. She recognizes that each student is an individual bringing unique strengths and challenges which can be served by a strong educational system.

Kelley will utilize her background in education to advocate for a safe and caring environment where students can reach their highest potential, recognizing that success comes when students, parents, teachers, and staff work together to provide the best learning environment possible. She has a particular interest in increasing college-level and career training opportunities in the high school curriculum and finding pathways for behavior change in students with discipline issues at all grade levels.
