Haddonfield is a wonderful community with wonderful schools. Since moving to town, I have had children pass through all three levels of our schools, where they have received the type of education my husband and I wanted for them.
It has troubled me, however, to see the school board take its focus away from what goes on in the classrooms to educate our children, and instead turn its attention to issues not directly related to educational pursuits, such as the Bancroft purchase and the 24/7 policy. Serving on the school board would allow me to be a stronger voice for those of us who want to see the Board get back to its intended purpose – improving the education provided to our students in the public schools. To that end, I believe there needs to be a greater focus on curriculum, technology, and infrastructure in our schools.
Undoubtedly, over the next few weeks, our community will engage in important discussions regarding what we want from our schools. I hope that you will take the time to learn about my positions on the issues facing the district, and consider giving me your support on November 5th.
