Cast your vote: Hanwell for Cape school board

May 6, 2021

I am casting my vote for Janis Hanwell for Cape Henlopen school board. My family has known her since she first came to Cape Henlopen School District to teach at Milton Junior High. When my own daughters went through Cape, she was an administrator at the district office and was always there for me if needed.

Just like when she was employed by Cape, Janis still supports parents’ efforts to make sure their children receive a high-quality education with the resources they need to excel.  As a current board member, she is always pushing for a rigorous academic curriculum, the best instructional leaders, a fair disciplinary system, and solid career pathways that will prepare students to be successful and productive adults in whatever field they choose. Janis is also committed to making sure the district provides the supports and programs necessary to close the achievement gap, and while there is still work to be done, observable gains have been made during her term. 

I trust that Janis is a true advocate for kids, is open and honest in her communication, and definitely cares about our community.  She is not afraid to stand up for what’s best and will not settle anything less. 

A vote for Janis Hanwell is a vote for our kids and our community.
