Candidate for
Member, Board of Education; Pleasantville Union Free School District

First and foremost, we need to maintain our excellent educational program without overburdening the taxpayers of the school district in these extraordinary economic times.

As a walking community, we need to provide safe routes to our school buildings for all students. We must also create a learning environment that is safe and secure for our students while they are in school and in after-school programs.

Now that the High School renovation is underway, we must do everything possible to guarantee that this project is completed on-budget and on-time. While it is imperative that the construction work is high-quality, we must minimize the disruption for our students, faculty and neighbors.

We must continue to conduct the District's business in a way that is open and transparent. Through a cohesive effort by the community, parents, teachers, administrators, and the Board, we can reach our goals and fully serve our students.
