The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools system opened this 2011-12 school year with a new superintendent. With many changes looming in the near future, it is without hesitation that I ask my fellow voters to reelect Jamezetta Bedford to the CHCCS Board of Education.
Ms. Bedford has been a member of the school board for many years and served two terms as chair for the board. I think her history speaks for itself regarding her work ethic, concern for all students and, most importantly, her ability to lead.
I believe that Jamezetta Bedford can bring her wealth of experience and provide the continuity that we need during this transition with a new school superintendent. She is direct and forthright but respectful. She advocates for all students at all times.
As a mother of three children that qualify for all different types of programs within our district, I am happy to endorse Ms. Bedford for reelection. I hope you will join me in this effort.
