Why do you want to be elected to the school board?

The citizens of Chapel Hill and Carrboro should elect me if they want continued responsiveness to the issues that are important to them. If they want someone who is engaged in meaningful dialogue about the challenges facing the district, then they should elect me. If the residents of this community want a proven leader who will advocate for effective instruction that allows children to grow into happy, well-rounded, productive citizens, then they should elect me.
