Susan Freeman, Businesswoman and Social Justice Advocate Chelsea is a passionate advocate for quality education. She puts actions to her beliefs, not just as a Board Trustee, but by donating her time. She has taught art to classes of students who otherwise would not have received art since 2009. She makes all students feel welcome and included. I trust her to make decisions that put students and teachers first.
