April is an outstanding candidate. She has brought a “student-first” lens to everything she does in education, including being the local union president. I know her to be principled, ethical, objective and a team player. These are all essential qualities for an effective trustee.
I have known April for about 40 years in her various capacities as an educator. Voters can have every confidence that she will make an excellent member of the Board of Education.
