Bettina Umstead is the Chair of Durham Public Schools. While education policy has always involved challenges, the past few years have been even more difficult for educators during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this You Should Run Podcast, Bettina talks about what motivated her to run for office, getting young people involved in school boards, making Durham schools a safe and welcoming environment for students of all backgrounds, and pushing back on the growing attacks on public education.
