It is my belief that Chris Kramer would serve the Bedford Central School District community well as a member of its Board of Education. I’ve known Chris for almost 15 years as his two oldest children and my kids were in classes and extracurricular activities together. In conversations on the sidelines of sports fields (when he wasn’t volunteering as coach), sitting around second-grade classroom tables and at back-to-school nights, Chris has demonstrated inquisitiveness, thoughtfulness and open-mindedness.

Chris also brings the perspective of a community member whose family is multiracial with adopted children (who were also English Language Learners when they arrived in the district), with a 2019 Fox Lane graduate, a current 19-year-old Fox Lane High School student on the autism spectrum and a six-year-old at Pound Ridge Elementary School.  

As a former member of the Board of Education, I firmly believe the district needs board members who have navigated all of these aspects of the district’s educational experience from kindergarten through high school, and rarely does a candidate have such a broad set of experiences. 

Lastly, Chris is deeply invested in the long-term vitality of the Bedford Central School District with a first-grader at Pound Ridge. 

Chris’s qualities and experiences in the district would make him a uniquely valuable and effective member of the Bedford Board of Education.
