I am writing to voice my support for Kris Castellano, who is running for a seat on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education. I met Kris 20 years ago when we were both employed as physical therapists at UNC Hospitals. We have maintained our relationship over the years both professionally and as friends and parents of children enrolled in the CHCCS district.
I know Kris to be an impressively organized, motivated and intelligent person. She is compassionate and very results driven in anything she undertakes. As a therapist, Kris works with people who come from a variety of cultural, socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. She consistently demonstrates pragmatic decision-making and she has a keen ability to consider multiple viewpoints when making a decision. Kris has continued part-time work and she has served as a dedicated volunteer in her three children’s schools for the past 10 years. She has volunteered in the classroom, on SIT boards and on committee work at the district level, serving many children and families in our district.
I believe that Kris’s exceptional interpersonal skills, intelligence and passion for serving the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools will make her a successful board of education member. I strongly feel that she will be an honorable advocate for all the children in the district. I hope you will join me on Nov. 8 and cast your vote for Kris Castellano. Thank you.
