VOTE FOR
PHIL LLOYD II
DPSCD SCHOOL BOARD
I'm not a DPSCD alumni.
My wife is.
My daughter will be.
This district has already invested in my household now I'm asking to invest in it.
Detroit doesn't lack people who want to help. It lacks a door for them to walk through. Vote Tuesday, November 3rd.
ABOUT
Over the past 20 years I have gained valuable experience leading teams in hospitality, customer service and operations management.
I have combined creativity, innovation and problem-solving skills to deliver exceptional results for clients and stakeholders.
Throughout the course of my career, I have effectively managed and oversaw various teams, supervising 200+ employees while managing all aspects of the business from HR functions to financial reports.
I hope to bring this exceptional experience in servant leadership and service to the DPSCD school board to help create new solutions that exceed expectations and drive excellence.
I'm Phil Lloyd II, and I'm running for the DPSCD Community District School Board.
I didn't grow up in this district. But my wife did — and everything she is today, the advocate and literacy champion she's become, was shaped in these schools. My daughter will walk the same halls. This district isn't an abstraction to me. It's my family's foundation, and I intend to protect it.
For the past two weeks, Detroit has watched criticism and debate about DPSCD play out online. The problems being named are real. But naming a problem isn't the same as fixing one — and I've spent my career building the systems that turn "this is broken" into "here's how we fix it."
My background is in food and beverage vendor contracts, quality standards, safety compliance, supply chain management.
That's not a resume line I'm bringing to this campaign for polish. It's the exact skill set DPSCD needs right now: someone who knows how to read a contract, audit a system, and hold a vendor accountable to a standard.
This campaign isn't about relitigating what's wrong. It's about building what's missing safer food systems, real literacy access, and an actual front door for the Detroit organizations that have been trying to help our schools for years and couldn't get an answer.
We can keep arguing online about what's broken, or we can be part of the change. I'm choosing the second one.
I'm asking you to choose it with me.

FOOD ACCESS & SAFETY
Every DPSCD student deserves food that's nutritious, safe and reliably stored.
I've spent my career managing food, beverage, and vendor contracts. I know what a safe kitchen looks like, and I know what an aging contract looks like.
I'll push for a full audit of district food vendor contracts and cafeteria storage standards, and advocate for quality, not just cost, in every procurement decision.
THE PLAN
LITERACY & LIBRARIES FOR ALL
Literacy is a kitchen-table issue in my house.
I'll advocate for every DPSCD school to have a fully staffed, functioning library, not just a room with books and push for family literacy access that extends beyond the school day, so reading support doesn't stop at the last school bell.
A REAL DOOR FOR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Detroit organizations have submitted proposals to bring free programming into our schools and too many have gone unanswered.
This isn't a failure of will, it's a capacity problem.
I'll push for a standardized intake process, a published response-time standard, and public transparency on every partnership proposal, so no organization ready to serve our kids gets lost in a black hole.
