I have spoken to him many times about the issues that parents of exceptional children face and have found him to be thoughtful and supportive.\u00c2\u00a0He has been involved in Justice United for several years and understands the issues in our community and I feel he can speak for the families in our community who find it difficult to speak for themselves. Specifically, he has knowledge of the Myanmar refugees and Hispanic newcomers and their issues.\u00c2\u00a0He grew up in this district and has two children in the district. James regularly volunteers in classrooms. James has done his homework \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I have seen him at many school board meetings and I feel he understands the issues our district faces.\u00c2\u00a0He is taking his candidacy seriously and has put other community activities temporarily on hold in order to give his campaign the attention it deserves.\u00c2\u00a0In this time of economic uncertainty, we need school board members who can stand back and look at the big picture and do what is best for all of our children.\u00c2\u00a0I believe James Barrett can do just that.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Varblow<br \/>\n<em>Chair, Special Needs Advisory Council <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please join me in supporting James Barrett for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21556"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21561,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21556\/revisions\/21561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
