Campaign themes

Sims answered the following about his campaign in a July 2014 interview with the Columbia Daily Herald:

“

How would you characterize the current relationship between school board and county commission? What would you do to maintain or change it? I believe that we all work together well. While I may disagree with some of the decisions on both sides, as professionals, we must strive to work together in order to better serve. What do you believe is he most pressing issue facing the school board and how would you address it? Getting kids to learn on their own is my biggest issue. I know standardized testing is not going away, but we need kids to think outside the “test”. How effective do you believe Eddie Hickman has been as the schools director? Explain. I believe Mr. Hickman has done the best he knows to do with our kids and schools.
