Ntsib Kaleem

Kuv yug ntawm no thiab kuv tsev neeg thiab cov neeg zej zog tu kuv loj hlob nyob sab qab teb. Tau 30 xyoo, kuv tau tsim tsev kawm ntawv, haujlwm thiab lub caij nyoog rau lub nroog uas tu kuv loj hlob. Tam sim no kuv sib tw ua tus kav nroog.

Kuv zaj dab neeg
Raws li qhov muaj feem, kuv lub neej yuav tsum tau poob lawm.
Kuv niam tau raug teeb meem tsis muaj tsev nyob, thiab kuv tsuas tau ntsib kuv txiv ob zaug xwb. Thaum kuv muaj ob xyoos, kuv tus phauj Gretchen Caire tau coj kuv mus tu. Peb nyob tim ntej Penn Park, qhov chaw uas kuv pog Mary Caire saib xyuas kuv ze ze thiab tsis pub kuv hnov qab tias kev kawm ntawv tseem ceeb.
Peb cov neeg zej zog ua qhov seem. Nyob sab qab teb, cov neeg laus tu txhua tus me nyuam. Madison tu kuv loj hlob, thiab kuv yuav ua tsaug mus ib txhis. Txhua tus me nyuam hauv peb lub nroog tsim nyog tau ib lub zej zog zoo li ntawd.
Kev pab zej zog yog peb tsev neeg tus cwj pwm.

“…he diligently advocates while maintaining the highest level of respect and regard for those who may hold divergent opinions.”
Kirbie Mack, chair of the City of Madison MLK awards committee. The Capital Times, January 14, 2000 “Caire not only offered a solution, he also shined a bright spotlight on the achievement gap and inspired a legion of advocates who won’t let it be dimmed anytime soon.”
InBusiness Magazine, “25 Most Influential People in Greater Madison,” 2014 “He’s an above-and-beyond innovator, even in the charter school space.”
