I’m Tyler Moses. I’m a dad, a small business owner, & a Conway neighbor who believes school board members should be present, prepared, & willing to ask hard questions.
My son attends Ruth Doyle & has previously attended Ida Burns & Florence Mattison. I earned a degree in Financial Risk Management from UA Little Rock before working as a National Bank Examiner for the US Department of Treasury. I’ve spent my career in financial oversight, & that background shapes how I look at school budgets and accountability.
Over the past several years, I have built relationships with teachers and staff across Conway. When they bring concerns, I take them seriously and go to work. I’ve spoken repeatedly at board meetings calling for transparency and responsible spending. When a charter conversion was added to an agenda without public input, I spoke up and it was removed. When administrative staffing and central office costs grew while classrooms felt stretched thin, I publicly pressed for answers that helped bring needed leadership change. When teachers asked me for help to change a policy that forbid the use of Amazon Wish Lists & DonorsChoose grants, I advocated and it was approved. When my son’s best friend wasn’t getting the reading support that he needed, I advocated until he received an IEP.
I believe accountability should lead to action. In Conway, it already has. Outside of school, I serve as Secretary of the Conway Tree Board. If you’ve driven down Mill Street at Halloween, you’ve probably seen the over-the-top Halloween decorations or our 15 foot tree and lights regularly in the Chamber’s Light Up Conway contest. We love this community, and we invest in it. I show up. I ask questions. And I follow through.
Our schools work best when they stay focused on learning. That means supporting teachers, reducing distractions, and making sure students have what they need to succeed, especially in reading and math. I believe decisions should be guided by what helps kids learn, not by politics or noise outside the classroom.
I bring a background in financial oversight and bank regulation, and I believe public school finances deserve clear, careful stewardship. Families should be able to understand how school dollars are being spent and trust that funding is focused on classrooms and students. Transparency matters not just because it is required, but because it is right. That means following the law, using executive session appropriately, and communicating openly with the public so trust does not have to be rebuilt after the fact.
I stay involved in our district because strong schools require more than occasional attention. I attend board meetings, speak up for teachers, and engage with parents in community conversations. I've worked with educators, school personnel, & Board members to support classroom needs, written grant requests for our elementary schools, helped connect campuses with community partners through efforts like Arbor Day and garden initiatives, and pushed for leadership decisions that put stability and students first. I believe school board members should be present, prepared, and willing to listen and act in the open.
Have questions or suggestions? I would love to hear from you!
