I am writing in support of Betsy Sharma to become our next Bedford Central School District (BCSD) Board of Education member.
I have known Betsy for a little over four years, and in that time, I have seen her heavily invested in the well-being of not only her children but all district students. She is brilliant at organizing, planning and getting things done. I’ve known Betsy in the midst of a crisis and can say that she was not only calm but determined to find solutions. She actively seeks to find resources for anyone in crisis or with questions. She truly wants to see more “community” in our district community.
Betsy consistently does her homework and research into the topics at hand, and challenges where she sees missteps or misinformation. She is not one to back down to criticism, but would rather see truth and transparency prevail. Betsy listens to all sides, asks questions to understand many points of view and engages in fact-based discussions. Her background in finance, marketing and education makes her the most well-rounded candidate, able to look at issues from many angles and a quintessential candidate who will add much value through collaboration across all stakeholders. I believe Betsy will work well with the current board, the administration, educators and the community at large.
I heard it said that a vote for Betsy would be a vote for normalcy, which would certainly be positive, but I’d counter and say that a vote for Betsy would be better than normal – and our district can definitely be better.
I highly recommend Betsy Sharma for the BCSD Board of Education. Vote May 16 at your local elementary school.
