I am running for Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Board of Education because I have been a longtime advocate both for quality education, and for children and families. As a parent, and as a professional who deals with educational issues on a day to day basis, I believe that I can bring the necessary perspective to work on the Board of Education and partner with students, families, teachers, administration and the community.
We face serious financial challenges, but we cannot let this undermine the quality of the schooling we offer. We must continue to support and grow an excellent education system with the highest expectations for all students in Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools. We are a diverse community and I will be a champion for a school system that reflects that diversity and provides an education that allows all our children to realize their full potential. The three Rs I am most interested in are respect, resources and results.
