People running for (rather than from) the school board deserve serious respect and praise for their desire to ensure excellent education and schools for our children. MaryAnne Gucciardi is an outstanding candidate for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board who deserves such respect and praise for three reasons: (1) she is a highly successful female businesswoman and knows how to get things done; (2) she is compassionate and will put the needs of our kids first on her agenda; and (3) she listens exceedingly well to those with different views. This talent, compassion and diversity are desperately needed on our school board.
