About Dr. Chino L. Walters, PhD
Dr. Chino L. Walters
I am running for the Charles County Board of Education at large. I am running because I believe a strong education system is vital to the development of our communities, and that it is the path forward toward success for our scholars. Strategically investing in the creative minds of our scholars now, through public education, will allow them to discover a brighter future and embrace the hidden talents and gifts buried within them. Our scholars need someone who can see beyond their failures and breathe life into them, while supporting our parents and educators who strive daily to pave the way; I am that individual. To move Charles County Public Schools forward, we must elect individuals who are invested in the success of our schools, who will focus on things that matter and that drive the vision and the goals of CCPS with integrity, accountability, equity, and creativity; I am that individual. If elected, as the “new kid on the block,” my loyalty will only be for those I serve: the community and the public schools of Charles County, Maryland.

Dr. Walters has been married to Tamara for 17 years and they are the proud parents of three (3) wonderful children: Isaiah, Cheyenne, and Ashlyn, who are also scholars of the Charles County Public Schools system. Dr. Walters enjoys spending quality time with his family and teaching his children the importance of having a relationship with God and family, the importance of community servitude, and the importance of developing life skills. Most recently, Dr. Walters taught his 14-year-old son, Isaiah, how to cut and install a PVC drain pipe for the HVAC system. Dr. Walters believes family is where education begins.
