As a longtime educator and Superintendent, Patricia Chesbro finds herself increasingly concerned for children and young people. At a time in their lives when they should be feeling hopeful and optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead, they see division, disrespect, and intolerance in the language of local and national leaders. Chesbro hopes to model more positive behavior; she is a lifelong learner who believes in truth and honesty and strives to understand walking in another’s shoes.
