Breastfeed Orange NC reached out to our Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School Board candidates for their insights on how our school district can support breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and human milk feeding families. We believe that creating a supportive environment for lactating families and employees in our schools is vital for the health and well-being of our children, families, and community.
Jane S. Gabin
Candidate for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.
Below is Jane’s response to our questions about ways to create a more breastfeeding-friendly school district.
Written Statement of Support
Do you support a written statement from the school board that actively supports breastfeeding and is routinely communicated to all stakeholders, including staff, parents, and students?
If elected to the CHCCS board [Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education], I promise to make the schools and school policies breast-feeding friendly!
