I have worked with her on school budget advocacy for the last three years and I think she would be a natural as a school board member. She is dedicated, level-headed and works well with a wide variety of people. She takes the time to do her homework and fully understand the issues she is working on.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I have always admired about Mia is the enormous energy she brings to school issues. [Schools are] a topic she is truly passionate about. School officials at Lincoln Center have gotten used to seeing her turn up regularly in various volunteer capacities. Her excellent documentation of the history of our school district is one of many examples.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In her campaign, Mia has been working hard to gather input from parents, teachers and other citizens about what they think is working and what is broken in our schools. She will be very open to input from a wide array of sources if she is elected. As a parent of young children, I think she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be especially sensitive to the concerns of parents. For all of these reasons, I hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll join me in giving Mia one of your votes for school board representation on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p><em>David Weinberg<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elect Burroughs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mia Burroughs for school board is an easy choice. Mia is energetic, smart and deeply committed to the children, parents and schools in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Beyond many years of in-school experience as well as a project documenting the history of the CHCCS system, she has a long history of work in the nonprofit sector focused on young people. She is a team player and a good listener. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every Student Matters\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is not an empty campaign slogan but, rather, Mia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sincere promise that, if elected, she will work diligently for each and every student in our school system.<\/p>\n<p><em>Susan &amp; Ken Schulz<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elect Wallach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am writing to endorse Gary Wallach for Chapel Hill Carrboro School Board.\u00c2\u00a0 Mr. Wallach has revealed he is concerned and dedicated to making some serious changes.\u00c2\u00a0 Having just emerged as a student of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, I think Mr. Wallach presents a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbreath of fresh air\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and I feel his concern of students is geniune and sincerely welcomed.\u00c2\u00a0 He knows this district &#8211; and he knows what is needed to make it one of the better districts &#8211; he knows students and we need to have people on the school board who are responsive and sincere when dealing with students, parents and faculty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Devin Giddens<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elect Kelley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am writing to support the re-election of Mike Kelley to the CHCCS board.
