As the Cabarrus County Board of Education seeks to fill an open seat on the board, please see the post below detailing the education and background of the applicants.
I also believe it’s important to know the following:
• How many of these candidates ran for school board in the 2024 election?
• Under the “teachers” category, could you distinguish which are certified teachers, instructional assistants (IAs), or support staff?
Over the Christmas break, your school board is considering resumes submitted by eight individuals interested in filling the seat left open by Laura Lindsey’s election to the county commission. I've received emails and phone calls recommending specific candidates. I appreciate your input. I hope that you can appreciate there are many accomplished individuals in this group.
I'm just one school board member with one vote. I am considering every applicant very carefully. You and I may not see our preferred candidate sworn in at the end of this process. However, I am confident that the decision of the board will be a person who is passionate about strengthening public education in Cabarrus County and highly qualified to serve.
