Rachel Lindsey for MRH School Board
Hello! I'm Rachel Lindsey and I’m running for one of three vacancies on the MRH school board. The election is on April 7. I'm so glad you are taking time to learn about candidates for the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education.
There has never been another time when the future of public education–our system truly committed to reaching and teaching all kids–has been so uncertain. It will take all of us to ensure that the opportunities and investments we have inherited will continue to serve students, families, teachers, residents, and other MRH community members for generations to come.
I live in the Richmond Heights Highland Park neighborhood. I’m a mom, a college professor, and a longtime neighbor. My high school kiddos have been at MRH schools since they were toddlers. I believe in the power of education to transform lives. And I believe that strong public schools anchor thriving communities. My vision for MRH leadership is built on four core values: collaboration, equity, learning, and stewardship. As a school board member, I promise to prioritize learning at all levels, support teachers from classrooms to contracts, and work with other district leaders to serve kids, families, and neighbors with integrity and respect.
