Cole's vision makes her best fit for board - Vote Today

Vote Today - I'm endorsing Maya Cole for Seat 5.
A letter to the editor
On Tuesday, please join me in voting for Maya Cole.

For many years, I've been an active advocate for Madison's schools, working on campaigns and task forces, as well as a volunteer in schools and a PTO officer. I've been encouraged by the substantive discussions the School Board has undertaken this past year with new perspectives, but there is more work to be done.

With annual budget cuts in the millions of dollars, doing business as usual jeopardizes our neighborhood schools, puts academic excellence at risk and alienates the community by pitting parent against parent.

This short-term planning cannot continue, and Maya Cole won't let this happen.

As a board member, she will work with the School Board to develop a long-term plan.

Cole will also work with and be open to ideas from teachers, parents, students and the wider community. Her openness, innovation and fresh perspectives will help strengthen Madison's excellent schools.

I support Maya Cole for Seat 5 on the School Board.

Barbara Schrank
