Resident Rashida Campbell thanks staff and announces bid for Colonial School District board
Summary
In public comment resident Rashida(t)a Campbell thanked school staff for assistance with her grandson and announced she is a candidate for the Colonial School District Board of Education in the May 12 election, describing long ties to the district as a William Penn graduate and parent.
During the public comment period on April 14, Rashida(t)a Campbell addressed the board to thank administrators and teachers who responded to concerns about her grandson's experience at school and to announce her candidacy for the Colonial School District Board of Education for the May 12 election.
"My name is Rashidita Campbell," she said, and described growing up in the district and her family ties: she identified herself as a graduate of William Penn (Class of 1993), the parent of a 2010 William Penn graduate and a grandparent of a current student. Campbell said district staff and teachers "flooded" the family with outreach and that their response led to a plan of supports for her grandson.
Campbell said she brings more than 30 years of organizational leadership experience and described her decision to run as personal, not political. She told the board she hopes to help shape the district's future and asked for community support in the upcoming election.
What happens next: Campbell will appear on the May 12 ballot for the Colonial School District Board of Education; the board did not respond to the announcement during the meeting.
