Natalie Bent Kitaif is a DPS graduate, parent and long time Durham resident. She brings the perspective and lived experience we need to rebuild trust in DPS. She doesn’t just talk about change; she has already done the work as a parent organizer demanding transparent budgets and safe, supportive schools. With her professional background in public health, Kitaif brings a vital ‘systems-level’ approach to governance that ensures decisions are grounded in data. Her commitment to co-governing with families and educators set the stage for the partnerships we need to stabilize our schools and protect public education in Durham.
