Ballotpedia survey responses
Robert Hullett participated in Ballotpedia's 2016 survey of school board candidates. In response to the question "What do you hope to achieve if elected to the school board?" the candidate stated on May 26, 2016:
| “ | When I am re-elected to serve the children and families of my community, we will be tackling three main issues immediately: unprecedented growth, high-stakes testing, and fiscally responsible stewardship of our current facilities and other assets. You can read more at: www.roberthullett.com. Your Vote is Your Voice...make sure you are heard.[9][10] | ” |
Ranking the issues
The candidate was asked to rank the following issues based on how they should be prioritized by the school board, with 1 being the most important and 7 being the least important. Each ranking could only be used once.
| Education policy |

| Improving education for special needs students | |
| Expanding arts education | |
| Expanding school choice options | |
| “ | In Williamson County Schools, our growth and achievement already lead the State, so the achievement gap within the county is not as great as it might be elsewhere. I am opposed to Charter Schools and Vouchers in Williamson County and do not believe expanding school choice options here, would be beneficial. We already offer the best education for our Special Needs students, so I placed this as 5 on my list. For the past two years, we have placed a great deal of focus on expanding arts education and will continue to do so moving forward. The budget and post-secondary readiness are always at the forefront, but due to events over the past two years, improving relations with our teachers and employees is paramount in order to continue the success we have worked so hard to achieve.[10] | ” |

Positions on the issues
The candidate was asked to answer nine questions from Ballotpedia regarding significant issues in education and the school district. The questions are highlighted in blue and followed by the candidate's responses. Some questions provided multiple choices, which are noted after those questions. The candidate was also provided space to elaborate on their answers to the multiple choice questions.
| Should new charter schools be approved in your district? (Not all school boards are empowered to approve charter schools. In those cases, the candidate was directed to answer the question as if the school board were able to do so.) |
|---|
| No. Again, absolutely not. I am in no way in favor of creating publicly funded private schools within the public school system. |
| Which statement best describes the ideal relationship between the state government and the school board? The state should always defer to school board decisions, defer to school board decisions in most cases, be involved in the district routinely or only intervene in severe cases of misconduct or mismanagement. |
| The state should defer to school board decisions in most cases. |
| Are standardized tests an accurate metric of student achievement? |
| No. I believe that testing is an important component in the evaluative process of students. However, I do believe that in recent years, we have grown to place an inordinate value on testing, especially high-stakes testing. I believe this has caused our profession to spend more time talking about teaching, rather than teaching. When you hear the phrase "teaching to the test", the students are learning what they would be learning if they were not "teaching to the test". The difference is that our professional educators do not have the time and resources they need to teach all of the complementary components to the subject matter to provide a truly well rounded experience. Teacher accountability tied to high-stakes is flawed. Beyond the school and district level, how can anyone at the state or even federal level know the strengths, abilities, successes, and yes, areas needed for growth, of our teachers based merely on a number reported out in a spreadsheet? Simply, they cannot. Our teachers, administrators, and Central Office professionals are clearly those best equipped for the assessment of our performance. |
| What is your stance on the Common Core State Standards Initiative? |
| Common Core is now a non-issue in Tennessee and although it was a hot-button topic two years ago, it is now irrelevant. For those who might not know however, Common Core was often misunderstood and misrepresented, especially when it came to our Board of Education. Briefly...Common Core was composed of three elements: Standards, Testing, and Data (data-mining). What you might not know in reading this is that our Board of Education, during my entire term from 2012 to present, took the following positions and these are all verifiable, as our meetings are open and public record. For Standards, our Board supported them as a floor, not a ceiling. This was an easy choice, as it provided a baseline of basic knowledge. WCS however really had no issue with the Standards as we have (and always will) exceed these Standards...it is just what we do here. As for the Testing (PARCC) and Data-mining, the Williamson County Board of Education has always stood against these components. The Testing, much like TN Ready, was a disaster and left far too much hidden behind the curtain. Coupled to the Data-mining component, the Board made pronouncement after pronouncement that we were against these components. So the battle cry of supporting or opposing Common Core was actually misleading to our communities and provided volumes of misinformation to our families. And yes, I agree with the State phasing it out, however the WCS BOE at that time asked this question of our State Legislature...What do you have waiting in the wings to replace it? The answer was nothing and what we received was TN Ready. Common Core could have easily been phased out with a suitable replacement developed before its removal, however in the highly charged political arena, the knee-jerk reaction brought us to today. |
| How should the district handle underperforming teachers? Terminate their contract before any damage is done to students, offer additional training options, put them on a probationary period while they seek to improve or set up a mentorship program for the underperforming teacher with a more experienced teacher in the district? |
| Offer additional training options. Put them on a probationary period while they seek to improve. Set up a mentorship program for the underperforming teacher with a more experienced teacher in the district. WCS regularly engages in Professional Development for our Educators. We strive to remain on the leading edge of education and as long as the underperforming teacher is working to improve their approach to the craft (within an agreed upon allotted time), I believe they should be afforded such opportunities. Aptitude and Attitude are very different...one you can teach and one you cannot. If the aptitude and desire is there, the improvement and opportunity will present itself. |
| Should teachers receive merit pay? |
| No. There is no apples to apples comparison...rather it is more like comparing apples to Volkswagens to butterflies. You cannot base what an English teacher will make compared to the Band Director compared to Media teacher, all based on the performance of their students in their respective disciplines. There is a far greater chance of getting it wrong, than getting it right, which could damage the morale of the faculty as a whole. |
| Should the state give money to private schools through a voucher system or scholarship program? |
| No. Absolutely not. I am in no way in favor of creating publicly funded private schools within the public school system. |
| How should expulsion be used in the district? |
| This is an operational duty of the district and beyond the scope and role of a Board Member. Yes, there is governance by policy, however for situations which fall between the lines of policy, they must be handled by Administration on a case by case basis. |
| What's the most important factor for success in the classroom: student-teacher ratio, the curriculum, teachers, parent involvement or school administration? |
| Parent involvement When parents are engaged and the home of a student embraces the learning environment, the student will succeed. |
Candidate website
Hullett highlighted the following issues on his campaign website:
| “ | The three main issues I see WCS facing are growth, testing, and facilities.
During my current term on the Board, we have worked diligently to minimize the effect of grandfathering on school capacity, while trying to assist students and their families who are impacted by a rezoning in their area. This leads us to the topic of rezoning and the truth of the matter is that no one comes right out and says, "Please...rezone me." The difficult decision for the Board, and this is one that keeps me up at night, is that at times, it has to be done. Some rezonings I have supported and others I have fought against. For example in 2013, Lipscomb Elementary went through a spot-rezoning. I offered an alternate plan to the Board and it was confirmed that my plan could work, however it was not the recommendation of the Superintendent or the Board Chair (at the time) and I lost that vote 2-10. Rezoning is an issue that we only broach when we reach the "point of pain"...where overcapacity forces our hand to do so. Often times, we then rely on our working relationship and partnership with our County Commission to expand our school system as we have done in Nolensville. At other times, with our spot-rezonings, we attempt to minimize the impact on students and families with the smallest affected number, such as the LES example. Many times, you will hear the phrase, "long range" or "long term" planning for zoning and rezoning. The component that is not known or not taken into account is that our Board of Education cannot levy taxes upon its residents. The County Commission is our funding body and this is the example I use every time I explain this issue. The Board could go the County Commission and request $1.5+B and build three or four campuses across the county and stabilize growth for 7-10 years. Our County Commission is responsible for governance and also to be good stewards of our tax dollars and they fight for every resident in our county...it is one of the great aspects of living here. However, if the County Commission were to agree to the request and fund it, there is truly only one option for them to accommodate the request...to raise taxes. This leads us to the way we do business with the County Commission. Take Ravenwood High School for example. The Board saw the growth ahead of its arrival, but we had to reach the "point of pain" (over capacity) to bring the three new Nolensville schools to the County Commission and receive their approval for funding. Ravenwood has been grossly overcapacity for two years. Finally, this fall as these new schools open, we will see relief...however, with the tremendous growth we are experiencing, that relief could be short-lived. This fall, the Board will be discussing "District-wide Rezoning". This often leads to a sense of panic in our WCS families, but what everyone should know is that everyone will not be affected. We are taking a different approach from the 2010 rezoning, which in my opinion was a failure. The fact is that Williamson County is the greatest place to live in Tennessee and families and businesses continue to move here with one of the primary catalysts for this being WCS. I believe that testing is an important component in the evaluative process of students. However, I do believe that in recent years, we have grown to place an inordinate value on testing, especially high-stakes testing. I believe this has caused our profession to spend more time talking about teaching, rather than teaching. When you hear the phrase "teaching to the test", the students are learning what they would be learning if they were not "teaching to the test". The difference is that our professional educators do not have the time and resources they need to teach all of the complementary components to the subject matter to provide a truly well rounded experience. Teacher accountability tied to high-stakes is flawed. Beyond the school and district level, how can anyone at the state or even federal level know the strengths, abilities, successes, and yes, areas needed for growth, of our teachers based merely on a number reported out in a spreadsheet? Simply, they cannot. Our teachers, administrators, and Central Office professionals are clearly those best equipped for the assessment of our performance. Our facilities and the resources to maintain them are incredibly important, as they house the educational environment that our dedicated professionals create for our growing young minds. From the growth perspective, from time to time we will need to build a new campus. Engaged families and businesses will continue to move here and I use the bathtub analogy to describe this. At this moment, our bathtub (facilities related to the capacity and number of students attending) is overflowing. It is not enough to flood the house...yet. Rezoning without adding new facilities, only causes the water in the tub to slosh from one end to the other (over a period of years). So, yes, we will as our growth continues, so will the need for additional campuses. The maintenance and renovation of our existing buildings is of extreme importance as well. I represent two of the oldest schools in the county, Brentwood Middle School and Brentwood High School. This month, we will be evaluating a plan to address the capacity issues at these schools, which will ultimately affect our three Elementary feeders as well. The support of these initiatives (maintenance and upgrading/equity) ultimately falls on the County Commission to approve and fund the plans the Board of Education submits to them. We have a positive partnership with the County Commission and at times, we do not always agree, but know that your Board of Education and me as one of its Members, will always work to provide for the needs of our students, families, schools, and communities and to protect those best interests.[10] |

Franklin Home Page interview
The Franklin Home Page asked Hullett the following bolded questions. Hullett's responses are shown below.
| “ | Rezoning is one of the first issues the new board will deal with together as the Nolensville schools open and Thompson's Station on the horizon. What's your philosophy on school rezoning, grandfathering and the anticipation of future growth for rezoning?
During my current term on the Board, we have worked diligently to minimize the effect of grandfathering on school capacity, while trying to assist students and their families who are impacted by a rezoning in their area. This leads us to the topic of rezoning and the truth of the matter is that no one comes right out and says, "Please ... rezone me."

The board could go the County Commission and request $1.5 billion and build three or four campuses across the county and stabilize growth for seven to 10 years. Our County Commission is responsible for governance and also to be good stewards of our tax dollars and they fight for every resident in our county. It is one of the great aspects of living here. However, if the County Commission were to agree to the request and fund it, there is truly only one option for them to accommodate the request - to raise taxes.

Common Core could have easily been phased out with a suitable replacement developed before its removal. However in the highly charged political arena, the knee-jerk reaction brought us to today. What do you think of current state education standards? I believe our state standards are strong but can always be improved over time. In addition, as I stated before, Williamson County Schools has and always will teach beyond these standards. It is just what we do. Do you think world religions should be part of history or social studies curricula? This is another hot-button, political-agenda-driven issue. The answer for me is yes. How can we possibly hope to develop well rounded, balanced, culturally educated students, who then become young adults, who then become adults, if we do not include the basic understanding of world religions? We do not live in a vacuum. The world around us is changing moment to moment and we live in a globally competitive marketplace society. Our children deserve to have a robust culturally infused education. To deny them this is to deny them a competitive advantage in their years beyond WCS. We do not indoctrinate our students. We never have and we never will, no matter how many campaign flyers might say it this summer. I know that I am partially quoting here, but ignorance will lead to fear and fear will lead to hate. Our children deserve better and providing them with an understanding of the world around them is essential to the defense against such ignorance, fear, and hate. What is your opinion of the current state of WCS and the current leadership? Dr. [Mike] Looney has my full support and always has, even when he and I have disagreed. He is simply the best in the business. In the coups to oust him as our superintendent, I led the charge to keep him. I have always been outspoken, much to a few others chagrin, in my support of Mike and his administration. Before Mike arrived, our district showed "As" in performance, but "Ds" in growth. This became his mission and through our strategic plan, in cooperation with the community, we have achieved "As" in both performance and growth. One huge success to note - part of this plan was a goal of raising our district-wide ACT average to a 24, which was a Herculean lift. Under Dr. Looney's leadership and the dedication of our students and teachers to the learning environment, we believe that this year, we will not only meet, but exceed this goal. What is the best thing about WCS? Our students, families, teachers, and administrators. Their best interests is what I fight for, every day. Our students, in all that they do, are a beacon of excellence in our state, region, and nation. Not a day goes by where I do not wake up thankful that my sons attend our schools. I am product of Williamson County Schools, as is my wife, who is also a teacher in the district. We have made and kept our home here because of Williamson County Schools. What needs attention and what aspect of it could need adjustment? The three main issues for me are growth, testing, and facilities. We have discussed growth and testing. Our facilities and the resources to maintain them are incredibly important, as they house the educational environment that our dedicated professionals create for our growing young minds. From the growth perspective, from time to time we will need to build a new campus. Engaged families and businesses will continue to move here, and I use the bathtub analogy to describe this. At this moment, our bathtub - facilities related to the capacity and number of students attending - is overflowing. It is not enough to flood the house yet.
