Kerry F. Cunningham

Kerry Cunningham had considered running for a Board position for many years but felt that her children were too young for her to make the commitment. However, she ultimately realized that “it was the very reason why she should run.” Her three children are currently students at Wells and Brewster High School.

An attorney, Cunningham was elected to the Board in May 2017. Coming into the role, she admired the District’s work in renovating and expanding JFK and CV Starr, as well as the district’s field improvements.

Looking forward, she says she’d like the Board to “try to ensure that there are a sufficient number of teachers in all courses so that class sizes can decrease and more direct instruction can be given.” She adds that she’d also like to see greater cohesiveness between the Board, the Superintendent, and the district’s teachers.
