Nebraska State Board of Education member Kristin Christensen listens to discussions about the candidates for board president during the board's orientation meeting Thursday. Christensen, a teacher who was elected to a four-year term on the board representing Lincoln, said it was a sacrifice to leave the classroom to be on the board, but she hopes to have a broader impact than just in the classroom.
