Why serve on the School Board?

Folks ask me why I would continue to serve on the CMS Board of Education for 7+ years? My response: I do it for the children and families in Mecklenburg County. These are folks who are working so hard to earn a living and raise their children with faith, and values, and morals. I have no idea what political party they are in, and I do not care. They care for their children and make sure they do homework and prepare for the next day. They are depending on those elected to serve on the School Board to make decisions for them. It reminds me of when my 4 children were going through K-12. I had no time to figure out the politics of the School Board. Now, I know how important it is to listen, study issues, do my homework and vote responsibly as an at-large member of the Mecklenburg County School Board. Yes, the children and families in Mecklenburg County are the ones who I work for.
