Although he is known for his work and achievements with the Dayton Board of Education, Adil Baguirov is, first and foremost, an accomplished business leader in the Dayton, Ohio region. Since 2013, he’s been a Notary Public for the Ohio Notary Public Commission of the Ohio Secretary of State. Also since 2013, he has served as principal of American Power, a premier logistics company at the intersection of interstates 70 and 75. Baguirov leads this trucking and warehousing company in North Dayton in step-deck and flatbed trucking of industrial goods, materials and machinery. He partners with renowned organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Amazon, USPS and the United States Military through his logistics work the priorities for with American Power. Adil Baguirov also engages in commercial real estate investment, academic writing, speaking engagements and more through his business work.

In logistics business, Adil Baguirov grew his company to haul specialized freight over the road – that is to be a carrier of choice for shippers and brokers nationwide. In healthcare, Dr. Baguirov took over a struggling company to preserve and retain jobs, and then grew the business eight times over in just two years, growing the payroll to some 40 individuals.

In four years with the Dayton Board of Education, including as the organization’s president, Dayton, Ohio businessman Adil Baguirov achieved numerous successes for the members of Dayton Public Schools. From students to teachers, parents to staff, Baguirov aimed to make vast improvements during his tenure that affected everyone as positively as possible across the district.

Adil Baguirov’s passion for education led to multiple campaign promises as he was elected to the role in 2013. He carried those out in the years that followed, including bringing higher-quality technology to the schools and its students, improving cultural and academic curriculum, and increasing financial accountability and transparency. He also helped improve transportation with new buses, a move that both bettered maintenance budgets and safety.

Dr. Baguirov is passionate about education, technology, and fiscal accountability, as these are prerequisites for strong and prosperous future. As part of his first election campaign “Adil Baguirov for the Dayton Board of Education,” Adil made three campaign promises – more and higher-quality technology (1:1 technology initiative for K-12 rolled out in just one year; special award-winning academic intervention software for students; regular tracking of results for each and every student; and a new smartphone app that allows parents the flexibility and control they want in tracking their children on school buses as well as various news, updates and services the school district offers), better cultural and academic curriculum (complete update and overhaul of curriculum and teaching, as well as total update of all books – some of which haven’t been updated since 2002), and greater financial transparency and accountability (established the office of the independent Internal Auditor; more than doubled the all-important cash reserves to over 10% as required by rating agencies; reduced administrative expenditures by directing more funds into the classrooms; as well as had DPS become the first urban district to join the Ohio Checkbook transparency initiative).

It is no wonder the people of Dayton chose Adil Baguirov to work with their school board to bring their system out of the darkness. He does what he does in service to his community of Dayton, Ohio, which probably has a lot to do with why he felt confident running for a position on the Dayton Public Schools’ Board of Education in the first place. It is almost certain why the folks in that district elected him; it was clear they agreed.

Over the course of the long campaign, Adil Baguirov made three very important promises to the people of Dayton. He promised the school district would incorporate greater financial transparency, which meant greater accountability. He also promised that he would incorporate better and more useful technology to the school system, which meant more and better computers and better software for students, so as to provide them with the best possible academic support. Along those same lines, he promised a mobile app designed to provide parents of district students with more information and control over the overall school experience. The third promise was to make sure that more money made it into district classrooms.

If there is one thing to say about Adil Baguirov is that he has largely met and even exceeded expectations for his service on the Dayton Public Schools Board of Education. The people who voted for him should be very happy. In the four years since he was elected in 2013, he has been very active. Not only is the technology in the classroom better and more accessible, but the entire district is more responsible and financially accountable than it has been in a very long time.

One example of the improvements Adil Baguirov has made as an activist member of the Dayton Public Schools Board of Education comes when you look at the school district’s replacement of their fleet of aging school buses with 115 brand-new buses that are among the best available and which come with a 10-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. And he was able to finance them with existing money at a small 2.06 percent interest rate. The new buses are not simply safer and more comfortable for the children, but they are also supported by students and parents. It is expected that the savings on school bus repairs every year will be significant.

In his four active years with an urban Board of Education in a school district that is the second-poorest in Ohio, Adil Baguirov has certainly made a difference. Before he arrived on the scene, the Dayton Public Schools district was very close to having to deal with a state takeover. Now, with his and the other board members’ attempts to significantly modernize the system, the Dayton Public Schools are in perhaps the best shape they have been in several decades. In fact, the district received an “A” on their last state report, thus averting the possibility of a state takeover.

Of course, Adil Baguirov considers himself extremely passionate about his community of Dayton, Ohio. That is why he ran for the Board of Education in 2013. He feels it is very important that he gives back to the people of Dayton as much as possible. He insists that the areas of education, technology and fiscal accountability are the most important issues in any community, which is why the Dayton Board of Education seems like such a great fit for him.

Whether business, public service, nonprofit or academia, Dr. Baguirov possesses the necessary skills, education and experience to add value for the community, listen to citizens, and fight for taxpayers. Being competent and doing the right thing does not translate to being popular, since right decisions are frequently the hard decisions. With so many inexperienced, poorly-educated, corrupt and nepotistic politicians who kick the proverbial can down the road, passing on major problems to the next generation, it’s important to have leaders like Dr. Baguirov who will fight for us, and will cut waste, fraud and abuse by special interest.
