I have known Nanette since our now 23-year-olds were in preschool.
We connected over our shared passion for public education, both believing that every child deserves an appropriate education that meets their individual needs while challenging them to be the very best students they can be.
Nan is extremely knowledgeable about education and New York State regulations and takes the time to continue learning so she can stay on top of the issues facing our schools in these rapidly changing times.
She understands that these are not ordinary times, and for the sake of our kid’s futures, we must be extraordinary in how and what curriculum we deliver.
Acceptance, inclusion, tolerance are not just words to Nan, it is how she lives. Nan really listens and makes sure community members feel heard, always advocating for what is best for our kids.
Nan is a true leader with a heart of gold. I am proud to support her and to call her my friend. Please join me in voting for Nanette Melkonian for board of education trustee on May 21.
