I am writing in wholehearted support of Dr. Marilyn Johnson-Farr for the Lincoln Public Schools school board. As a lifelong educator and proud product of the LPS district, Johnson-Farr brings not only deep experience but unwavering commitment to students, families and educators of the community.

As her colleague in educator preparation, I have had the privilege of working alongside Marilyn and witnessing firsthand her ability to collaborate, lead with integrity and make a lasting impact. Johnson-Farr’s insight, steady presence and dedication to doing what’s right for students and teachers are unmatched. From her early days as a paraprofessional to her impactful years as a teacher and teacher leader, and now with three decades of service in higher education, Marilyn has spent her entire career preparing and supporting the very educators who lead our classrooms today.

What sets Dr. Johnson-Farr apart is her rare combination of vision, character and practical experience. She builds authentic relationships and listens with humility, while uniting people and ideas.

She will honor the Lincoln Public Schools' mission while making smart, fiscally responsible decisions for the community. Dr. Marilyn Johnson-Farr doesn’t just know education — she lives it — and she understands what our schools need because she’s been there, shoulder to shoulder with students and teachers.

This community will be fortunate to have Dr. Marilyn Johnson-Farr’s voice and leadership on the LPS school board. Teresa G.
