I am pleased to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education. For the past 8 years, I have had the honor and privilege of serving the children of this district. I value all children and I’m excited about tackling current issues facing the district. I bring a thoughtful voice to the boardroom, one that ensures that all families are considered when decisions are made.
This district has seen substantial growth since 2006 with the opening of three schools, the high school designation of our alternative program Phoenix Academy, and the opening of our first magnet dual language school, just to name a few. Equally impressive is that our district has one of the lowest dropout rates in the state, continuing to improve its efforts to positively engage students.
During my tenure on the Board, I have advocated for ALL children. If re-elected, I will continue supporting efforts that bring meaningful professional development to our teachers and that raise academic achievement for all children. I will also work to ensure that our children have a safe environment in which to learn and grow.
