KENDRA CAMARENA
Kendra is a public servant through and through. She worked for years as a public educator before transitioning to Harris County, where she leads economic development and partnership engagement. As a parent of a current CFISD student, she cares deeply about the effectiveness of our schools, and she believes better communication and decision-making can help ensure that all voices are heard and that policies serve the greater good of the entire district.
"I'm an advocate, educator, and parent," says Kendra, "who believes in strong schools, open communication, and putting students first. Our community deserves a board that listens, leads with transparency, and works for everyone — students, staff, and families."
Kendra's top priorities include safety, fiscal responsibility, and teacher and student success.

DR. CLEVELAND LANE, JR.
Cleveland's dedication to education shines bright! He has a strong science background, and as an Associate Professor of Practice at Prairie View A&M University, he prepares future science educators and pre-health professionals for their future careers. He is the parent of two current CFISD students and a CFISD grad, and he is passionate about the academic and social development of the community’s youth.
Cleveland is running for school board to positively impact the educational landscape. "I believe a key role of a school board trustee is to support the district in preparing students to be 21st-century global learners with the ability to evaluate data and operate with cross-cultural thinking and technological literacy," he explains.
Cleveland's top priorities include academic success, safety, and a return to trust and dignity for our educators.
