As a Middletown native I want to give back to the community I have grown up in. I want to see a top notch education system that provides opportunities for all students, to strive for a responsible budget, and to keep class size as low as possible, as that is the most important factor in a child's education.
Having served as a member of the Board of Education for six-months I have made public the short-fallings of the Board under the leadership of Ted Raskca. I will continue to do so by showing the wasteful spending of the majority of the board who wish to cut teaching positions and raise class size. I pushed for a budget that the community wanted, and that was in support of our teachers. I also spent time at our schools, talking to teachers, sitting in on classes, and meeting with principals to see and hear first hand the problems that our schools are facing.
I believe I bring a simple perspective, as I know what the children need in this school system, while Central Office and the Board continue to largely support their own pet projects. I do bring experience in the form of my bachelor�s degree in organizational communications, which has given me the tools to work toward solving our educational system problems and get our message out to the public.
I have been an asset to the Republican caucus on the Board. I am able to work with my two fellow Republicans to provide concrete solutions and have fought against the failing ideas of the democrats. In the future I would love to see a program at the high school to increase skills in manufacturing.
