I will soon be making a formal endorsement for Sharon El-Amin in her candidacy for an At-Large seat on the Minneapolis Public Schools Board of Education.
As you anticipate my own official endorsement, please review the following endorsements, very notably including that of Larry McKenzie (along with wife Pamela Wilkins-McKenzie), current basketball coach at North High School, former coach in the same role at Henry High School, and community member who has served as a worker and leader for numerous social service agencies in North Minneapolis.
Please now review these endorsements for Sharon El-Amin in her campaign for one of two At-Large seats that are up for election on Tuesday, 6 November; these endorsements are found on her website, Sharon4Schools:

I am truly excited about
supporting Sharon El-Amin in her race to become a Minneapolis Public Schools
Board member. It is clear that Sharon
has the needs and best interests of children and families at the core of her
campaign and her work in the community.
Sharon has a fresh and powerful voice and will be the change agent that
the district needs to overcome its challenges.
Ellen Stuart
Educator for 25 years
As an educator and a
product of the Minneapolis Public Schools, having the support of a board member
that has the pulse of the families we serve is so very important. Sharon has been an active community member
who has demonstrated in many experiences her loyalty to people, not
systems. The students from North
Minneapolis and across the city must have a voice, an advocate, a
champion. Sharon El-Amin has already
been and continues to be all of these.
Sara Freeman
North High School Finance club Leader
I have seen Sharon’s
dedication to our students at North High School, where she isn’t just the head
of the PTA, she’s the first person parents, staff, and teachers call if we need
anything. Sharon has always shown up for North High School students and staff,
and that’s exactly how she’ll show up for all Minneapolis Public Schools
students when elected to the School Board.
Sharon’s commitment to social justice and leadership on the north-side
is exactly what we need more of on the School Board. I can’t wait to vote for her in November.
Larry McKenzie
North Polars Coach, Pillsbury United Communities
Minneapolis residents, we
are fortunate to have Sharon El-Amin as a candidate for the Board of
Education. Sharon has deep roots in the
community and has demonstrated her dedication and commitment in numerous ways
through her service. She will bring a
genuine belief that ALL kids, regardless of zip code, are capable learners and
a desire that ALL kids deserve a high quality education. I have worked with her and know that she
supports active parental involvement along with total transparency in the decision-making
of issues impacting Minneapolis students, staff, and administration.
I know that by electing
Sharon El-Amin to the Board of Education Minneapolis families will have someone
advocating for their children’s success in the same manner she has advocated
for her own children in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
We encourage you to
support Sharon El-Amin.
Larry and Pamela
Wilkins-McKenzie
Mercedes Reynolds
Assistant Principal, South High School
Sharon El-Amin has high
expectations for ALL students and an unwavering passion for supporting the
Northside community. She has my
endorsement for Minneapolis Public Schools School Board because she believes
that all students can be successful and so do I!
Dr. Chandra Green
Former North High teachers and alumnus
I am excited to endorse
Sharon El-Amin for School Board because I have been an educator for over 20
years and have had the opportunity to work with and get to know Sharon El-Amin,
who has consistently supported Minneapolis Public Schools as a business owner,
community member, and parent. She
sincerely believes in our children and the need for all of us to positively
impact our students. In the 25 years
that I have known Sharon, I have always admired her dedication to public
service. She is a visionary leader and a
proponent of Minneapolis Public Schools.
I am confident that in voting for Sharon El-Amin we are taking a stand
for our children.
