Chisholm-Greene Will Vote Independently - BY Lisa king Nolet
I am proud to endorse Narda Chisholm-Greene for the Board of Education of the Maplewood and South Orange School District. Narda ran last year and was nearly elected in a very tough race. She returns this year because she is committed to serving our community and advocating for all of our children. The Board needs new members who will vote independently and make sound decisions that will enable our district to excel in all areas. Narda believes that every child in our district deserves the best educational experience possible. I believe that Narda, a proud graduate of our school district who has chosen to raise her family here, is best suited to tackle the issues facing our district and watch over the huge bond that was recently passed to ensure that the money is spent wisely, carefully, and with transparency.\
I have known Narda for 15 years, and during that time, we have developed a close friendship that began on the soccer field watching our daughters play Cougar Soccer. From our earliest days on the sidelines, I was impressed by Narda’s commitment to her family and her amazing energy. Narda has five children and a demanding job, yet she put herself through graduate school and always made sure that her own children’s academic success came first. She never missed one of her children’s games, concerts, or other activities. When Narda sets goals for herself, she does not give up until she achieves those goals.
Narda has volunteered in the district and educated herself so that she could be a strong advocate for her children’s success. When CHS was short of Midnight Madness volunteers a few years ago, she quickly volunteered and even convinced me to help out at this all-night event. The following year when our sons were seniors, she volunteered to co-chair the same event. In addition, she serves on the CHS Cougar Boosters Board and uses her vacation time to help out at the Golf Outing each year.
It is so important to have independent voices on the Board of Ed, voices that ask tough questions and make informed decisions. I believe our school district needs Narda Chisholm-Greene on the Board of Education.
