Cape school board member Patty Maull promised to be a parent advocate for the children of the district.
I recently was able to witness this advocacy in person. I notified Patty Maull of a situation where the parents were unable to get answers from the school district on the registration of their child in the upcoming school year. Once she became aware of the facts and circumstances, she assured the parents she would check into the situation. Shortly afterward, she contacted the parents that the issue was promptly resolved.
I want to thank her personally for the expedited way she handled this circumstance. As parents, life throws us many curves, but a curve that could upset your child holds a higher level of stress.
Patty Maull ran for office stating she would be an advocate for families. How refreshing in this world that we have individuals who hold up to their promises. We are blessed to have her helping the families of the district.
Keep up the good work!
