As a parent and resident of Catalina Foothills School District, I pulled my sixth grader from CFSD schools because we have a school board that puts parents out of any issue, discussion, decision, philosophy regarding the education of their child. The 2024 CFSD school board elections are critical to me.
I don’t realistically expect every school board member to be “on the side of the parents”. But I ask these questions of the candidates: Is he/she the kind of person who has a natural respect for the parents? Does he/she have an ability to see their side, to give them a good-faith hearing? Or is she the person who rolls her eyes when parents stand and speak and asks security to shut off the mic? Bart Pemberton and Jennifer Repscher, 2024 CFSD school board candidates, will give me representation I deserve. It’s time to “turn the page” and bring balance and fairness to the CFSD school board.
