Speaker for March:​

Cheryl Caufield:  Wake County 

School Board Member District 1

​

Cheryl Caulfield is a wife, public school mom of two sons, and the Wake County School Board District 1 Representative. She was elected in 2022 after campaigning for school safety, teacher support, parental rights, and transparency. As a public school and PTA mom engaged in her community, Cheryl noticed the struggles of children, parents, and teachers caused by ineffective government and policies.

​As a school board member, she routinely attends community meetings advocating for mental health and vaping/drug crisis, local school plays and activities, graduations, town events, mayor meetings, and other events in the community.  She also started an N.C. School Board Coalition with several other county representatives to collaborate for better outcomes for our students.  As part of the work with the Coalition spent many hours advocating for teacher pay, calendar laws, standards, removing restrictive caps, master and longevity pay, and transparency challenges with legislators.  Thankful for the collaboration with state leaders that has led to bills in the legislature.
