Meet & Greet w/Christina Vera

"Hello, I'm Christina Vera and I am running for the Columbus City School Board. As a resident of Columbus, a CCS alumna, and the mother of CCS students, I have seen and understand the need for effective change in our district.

​

I am running for a position on the school board because I believe every child in the Columbus City School District deserves a progressive education that will prepare them with the tools, foresight and support they need to succeed in and outside of the classroom regardless of their zip code.

​

It’s time for effective change in leadership that is willing to go the extra mile to provide innovative solutions that work. I want to be able to work alongside the 4,000+ teachers, librarians, nurses, counselors, psychologists, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers to create, adopt and implement the most effective and equitable educational opportunities for our students. I want to focus on restorative practices to bring together our students, families, teachers, and school board officials. We need to rebuild and restore community in all CCS schools. I will fight to make sure all students and staff are equipped with the supplies, support and training they need to be successful regardless of whether they are virtual or in a classroom. I want to advocate for equitable legislation to review our literacy programs and revise standardized testing requirements.
